You are very welcome 🙂❤️

Thank you for your lovely comment, I am originally from Lithuania, lived in UK for 17 years now and I also lived in Ireland for a year and a half, so that's why you hear a mix of accents 😁

@@HealthOrigins O, Wow! That is really neat. No wonder why I couldn't nail down your accent. ☺😍

Lots of good resourceful tips here, thank you! 🙂❤️

That's an idea, I never thought of making jam from dried fruit! Do you soak your prunes first?

@@HealthOrigins That's a very good question and actually I don't pre-soak them. I guess it sort of turns out like a fast-bean-soak in fact some people don't pre-soak beans, i.e.: kidney beans at all. In the case of dried fruit it all turned out well, although pre-soaking would undoubtedly make the cooking process go faster and easier, thanks for the suggestion and I'll try it. Lately, I've been pre-soaking white rice for about an hour before cooking, it cooks up in five minutes and doesn't become gummy, because the rice is hydrated I use little more than a 1:1 ratio of rice to water and after cooking allow to sit 10 minutes covered. I experimented pre-soaking pasta it didn't turn out very well at all in fact it was a compete disaster and I threw it out. I saw someone on YT pre-soak pasta and add it into spaghetti sauce to cook, but for me it turned into an inedible mess. But, pre-soaking rice is the only way to go at least for stove top cooking; I don't have a pressure cooker of any kind.

@@HealthOrigins Also, I bought a water distiller and I'm loving it.

That's great 🙂👍

Experiments are always interesting 🙂
