today our jam cupboard is stocked once more...thanks to my grandad and his plum tree...and my dad who picked them...and the thermometer that ciaran bought me. i can not trust my own judgement on setting points proven by a rather sad batch of what i can only describe as blackberry toffee made in my kitchen a few years back!i have sampled several spoonfuls...in fact i have had to make myself step away from the jars! it's deliciously tart and will be enjoyed in yoghurt and on toast in our house. just fruit. a little water. and sugar. i don't use sugar with added pectin...i know some recipes suggest it but i like the fruit to do it's own thing. how do you make yours?
pots for loved ones will be delivered over the weekend.

What a clever girl you are.
ReplyDeleteI have only ever made jam once and although a success it lasted about a week as Nigel and my mother ate it all!
Nice font detail as well;-)
What a fabulous colour, what sort of plums are they?

Those jam pots look gorgeous. Funnily enough I tried jamming for the first time today and to be honest I think it has been a total flop. I was trying a simple blackberry jelly - but its just not set at all. The recipe said you dont need any extra pectin because the blackberries have enough in them. I dont know where I went wrong.
