    Thanks MWC, that site looks fantastic. Was tempted to buy some from there but have already ordered some last night from ebay after I posted.. £20 for 50 8oz hexagonal jars. Not as lovely looking as on the site you recommended though :( I bookmarked the site and will definately order from there next time :)

    Decided not to buy from La**land in the end as I looked online and they were way too expensive and not the type I wanted. Bought a jam funnel though so it's all systems go :)

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Ooh thanks for this mwc. I can see me spending some money on this site. Up to press I've been trying to save jars we have used and even bought some marmalade for 29p just for the jars :rotfl:
    So if anyone has any ideas what I can use marmalade for apart from on toast I would appreciate it. Thanks.
    The jars on the website will be great for foodie gifts. :)

    It's Pam Corbin's recipe from the River Cottage Preserves handbook - 1kg seville oranges, 75mL lemon juice, 2kg demerara sugar and 50mL of whisky added at the end.
