Wipe the jar rims with a wet paper towel and add a lid and a ring. It's worth it! Remove jars from the canning pot and ladle hot salsa into the hot jars. Just cool the salsa and chill it until you're ready to use. If you're not canning this-Boom! You're done. Boil for 10 minutes-most of the cranberries will burst and the mixture will thicken. In another large pot, combine all the ingredients over medium high heat and bring to a boil. Cover, and heat to boiling while you're working on the salsa. Fill with water up to the level of the jars.

Vacant holes and maker’s marks with different dates inside the clock might also suggest the case and movement don’t belong together.’Ĭhristie's will often have particularly complex movements vetted by specialist clock restorers to reassure any bidders that the parts of the movement are accurately described, although for understandable reasons, their working condition can't be guaranteed, adds Strafford.Sweet and spicy, this gluten free condiment of honey-sweetened cranberries, onions, and peppers is terrific on a leftover turkey sandwich or in a host of recipes. ‘The movement should also look clean and tidy, although because of the physical pressure it withstands every second of the day, parts will often have been replaced over time. ‘Damage around winding holes, especially on enamel dials, is a potential spot for repair work,’ Strafford explains. ‘Ask yourself questions such as, “Are the feet original?” “Has the veneer been replaced?”’ advises the specialist. It is now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.Ĭheck the surface of the body and dial for cracks, tarnishing, rubbing and restoration. The movement in the clock below is one of the first Berthoud built with this feature, and it was sold at Christie’s in 2001 for £322,750. This complication is known as equation time. In 1752 Ferdinand Berthoud, then aged just 25, presented a longcase régulateur to the Royal Academy of Sciences in Paris, which successfully adjusted for the difference between solar and mean time (which can be up to 16 minutes a year). ‘Paris is usually associated with the best-quality movements.’
‘If horological wizardry is your thing, concentrate on the later Louis XV and Louis XVI periods,’ says the specialist. ‘French clocks from the first half of the 18th century tend to have fairly simple movements, so are often collected for the name attached to the ornamental appeal of their cases instead of their complex mechanics,’ explains Strafford.Īfter the 1750s there were a number of technological advances made within the movements of French clocks. Christie’s specialists are always on hand to explain which names signal the best quality. Dial and movementįrench clocks can sometimes come with as many as three names attached - the maker of the case, the maker of the dial, and the maker of the enamelling for the dial.
