SLOE jelly (or sloe jam, if you prefer) is almost unknown, which is a shame because it’s quite possibly the finest fruit jam you can make; tart, tangy and mysteriously dark. Sloes grow on blackthorn bushes, which are prickly customers at the best of times, and ordinarily you wouldn’t get much jelly for your trouble. Happily there’s a cheat, which is the addition of cooking apples. Apple brings out the flavour of the sloes and mellows their bitterness, helps the jam to set

BAD HABITS: Everyone has some bad habits, and they nearly always involve doing something too much. Eating too much, drinking too much, buying too much, looking at your phone too much. Why do we have such a propensity for overdoing it?
My guest says it’s all thanks to a “scarcity loop” that we’re hardwired to follow. Once you understand how this loop works, you can start taking action to resist the compulsive cravings that sabotage your life.

OUR LADY: Are there knots in your life that seem impossible to untie? Turn to Mary, Undoer of Knots! The devotion to Mary, Undoer (or Untier) of Knots is about 300 years old.
