Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought
From the Reverend Richard Coles:Ìý
My in-laws were down at the weekend, first time since lockdown, first time since my beloved David died, their son, and it was so good to see them. On Sunday after church we took the dogs, reunited too for the first time, out for a walk, and we came across a crab apple tree so weighed down with fruit it seemed to be begging to be picked. Later I went back with a basket, filled it, sustaining only light injuries from the vicious encircling brambles, and took it home, feeling like Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, only with bloodstains. I washed the apples, and cut the bigger ones in half. They smelt bittersweet. I covered them with water, cooked them for an hour, poured the pulp into a jelly bag, and let it drip overnight into a two litre jug. In the morning, satisfyingly, I found it was full, nearly to the brim - a greenish pearly juice, with the hint of a blush.Ìý
When you boil it with sugar it turns red-gold, lovely autumn colour, and becomes crab apple jelly, harvest nectar. My mum used to make it, but I never have; not till now, because she just gave me her mother’s preserving pan, and what are you going to do with that? Preserve. I needed more kit - caster sugar, jam thermometer, jam funnel, those little paper discs you cover the jelly with once you’ve poured into the jars before you screw on the lid. Jam jars. I knew we had some in a cupboard somewhere so I looked, and looked, and eventually found them in the garage; and saw on the shelf below a row Vicarage Plum Jam 2019, according to the label, in David’s handwriting, a bit spidery, because he wasn’t well when he made it.Ìý
Preserve: not just fruit from the tree, but the one who made it, my grandmother, my mother, my beloved. To eat or not to eat? I could not decide, so I’ve left it there for now, on the shelf. It will keep. The next day, a lovely autumn day, my crab apple jelly was ready, and I held a jar up to the morning light. It glowed, a gorgeous golden ruby colour, full of the promise of sweetness and richness... For nothing is ever really lost, and all in the end is harvest.
