Thoroughly wash a 1-litre glass jar in hot soapy water and dry with a clean tea towel.

Although my husband comes from Arcadia, all his relatives live in Sparta, Lakonia. Sparta is situated on the foothills of Taygetus Mountain and is the centre of an agricultural plain whose focus is the Eurotas valley.
