Carol:
Sounds delicious, Kneasy! But what does "zest only" mean? And is "Gas
6" the setting for 400 degrees on a gas oven? All the gas ovens I've
ever used (in the U.S.) have the same temperature settings as electric
ones.

To answer a question of yours upthread, we do have jam here, probably
identical to yours, differing from jelly by having seeds and/or pieces
of fruit in it. And of course, traffic jams, which no doubt are
figuratively connected to the strawberry and peach kinds, but much
less pleasant.
