This will intensify the flavor of the jam

   It is of some interest as an early stone enclosure with neither keep nor gatehouse originally.  It would seem that the north wall, guarding the easiest approach, came first, with the western wall (overlooking the ravine) following.  Henry II inserted the present gate arch, facing the town.  The precipitous southeastern side of the bailey was not walled until the thirteenth century and the curtain here has since disappeared.  Two round towers stood along it, though why there should have been towers on the edge of the cliff but none elsewhere is difficult to explain.When the third William Peveril forfeited his estates in 1155, the castle was taken over by Henry II.  Expenditure of 184 pounds in 1176-77, is just enough to account for the square keep which now dominates the castle.

  It is likely that a quadrangle was intended, the hall lying across the middle and dividing it into two.  If we imagine the scheme brought to completion there would have been square towers at the four corners and others in the middle of the two longer sides.  The older tower is one of these.  However, the west wing was never extended southwards to match the east wing.|Cooling CastleCooling Castle, a mile east of Cliffe, was built for Sir John de Cobham, a license to crenellate being granted in 1381.  Two years before, French raiders had caused devastation on the Hoo peninsula, so Cooling was built at least partly with coastal defense in mind.Ironically, but not uncommonly where English coastal fortifi bootsions are concerned, the castle saw no action against foreign invaders but became embroiled in civil strife.

This will intensify the flavor of the jam, and best of all, once it is spread on the first layer and left alone for a few minutes, the jam will set. The second layer can be put on the cake without fear of spill-over. You may want to set the first layer into the freezer for about 15 minutes to make the jam set better. This jam can be kept in the fridge and heated the next time you want to fill a cake. Don't keep it too long though.You can also make a dam of buttercream around the edge of the cake to keep the filling where it is supposed to be. This way your icing will not become stained by the filling and your decorated cake will remain beautiful.|Antique  bootsAntique type carpets help to add a touch of grandeurand glamour to your home or office, speaking greatlyabout your rich and extravagant tastes.
