tip: put it in the oven while preheating

the ingredients are simple:

another 15 min @ 350˚ and they're done!

while waiting, I get out all the jams
this year's array, left to right:

Deborah's fig [too old to eat]

my Raspberry [killer]

my strawberry

Linda's + my Almond Brandy Plum

Linda's + my Plum
