Helping my Mum make jam.
 
My mother made Mellon and lemon jam once in a while , I helped get the seeds out of the sliced melon Millly

Making cordial , we’d get a little bottle of Bobo cordial and mix with a mountain of sugar / water

Copied this
Bobo cordial was a popular 1960s commercial extract licensed by Adelaide's famous TV clown, Bobo the Clown (Hal Turner). Families mixed the bitter extract bottles with heavy amounts of sugar and boiling water to create sweet drinks
