hi not sure if this is the right thread but last year i made jam from a recipe on here but my question is how do you get rid of the taste/smell of what was in the jar before? i used the 9p curry jars that was suggested and the jam tasted of curry.:eek:

Don't think so, think this thread started after Christmas 2011.

Have you tried washing them in a dishwasher? That might work..

It does but you have to wash them about 12 times before the 9p curry jars do not taste of curry anymore. I tried this for jam and gave up as it was costing so much to wash the blardy things that it wasn't worth it.:o

Have you tried washing them out with bicarbonate of soda?

Could you try only using the curry jars for savory things like chutneys - the curry taste would add to the flavour!

I think there is a value Lemon Curd in one of the supermarkets for a few pence which could be used for Jams and the residual flavour woudn't matter too much! Or value Jam, then empty and re-fill with home made!

I usually use jars that held savoury for chutney, and jars that held sweet ones for jam, but there are a couple of suggestions here:

Sethsgran :hello: Could I ask your advice please (or anyone else that has stitched a cedarberry design)

I have calico fabric and wadding, I have traced the pattern onto the fabric, but what do I do with the wadding, do I attach it after I have sewn the pattern sorry bit confused here

Have googled teabag staining too, think I might practise on another piece first :eek:
