Doorstop English muffins from Borough Market

I’ve got some photos to share from my trip to London (Borough Market and the National Trust Fine Farm Produce Awards) but whilst I sort them all out I thought you might like to see these incredible English muffins.

They were hefty things that were drawing a crowd on their stall at Borough Market, and well I couldn’t resist either.  I had them for breakfast this morning, pulled apart with my fingers (no bread knife involved) and toasted them. 

Then when my thick slabs of salty butter didn’t melt, I bunged them under a hot grill until the butter went all golden.  Topped with some homemade strawberry jam.

Swedish strawberry jam and sharing food finds

I think it’s about time I started to share links to some of the lovely recipes and food blogs that I come across on my internet travels.  I have two ‘favourites’ folders dedicated to food – one for food blogs, and another for particular recipes I like.

I have been on the hunt today for a recipe for strawberry jam, specifically (if it exists) for a Swedish recipe.  I am after a Swedish strawberry jam recipe because I’m not particular fond of the strawberry jam that we have in this country.

However, when we were in Sweden we stayed at a strawberry farm and I fell in love with their jam.  It was runnier, and just much more enjoyable in my opinion.  I might even try the strawberry jam from the farm’s website, just played around with a bit.

Anyway…getting back to sharing links.  I shall put something together on the blog I discovered today and the dish that inspired me to share it, and then try to do so regularly.
