Awesome stuff JJ! :T:T:T They look amazing.
Funny you should say that, I've got about a tonne of these in my garden too, DH keeps asking me to make jam, I just throw them in with apples in a crumble! I wouldn't know where to start with jam, I've trawled the net but the recipes all vary so much. So I'm with you, please help us JJ?!!;):):):D:D:D:D
Cheers missy moo:)
See above.
I've shared my method with you.
You will never need a recipe if you use the above way.

I don't have a recipe at all, just an easy method that works for me:
First things first, put a saucer or plate in the fridge, you will need it for testing the set of the jam later.....
1)Put fruit of choice in a pan (preferably foraged or whoopsied)
2)BARELY cover with water and stew til soft.
3)At this point you have to decide whether you want a jelly or jam.
If you want a jelly, you strain the fruit in a tea towel inside a colander over a pan overnight. You just use the juice .
(If you wanna be uber frugal, rescue the flesh for whamming into a blender with juice/yoghurt for a smoothie or add to a fruit pie filling)
If you want a jam, don't bother straining.
4)Then measure either juice for jelly or fruit and juice for jam.
5)For each pint you need a pound of sugar and a good glug of lemon juice (I use nearly half a bottle).
(If you have fresh lemons, all the better. Use the zest and juice.)
6)Boil rapidly until you reach setting point. Keep an eye on it and stir regularly.
7)Setting point is reached when you put a drop on the cold saucer and it forms a skin after a wee while (it will wrinkle when you push it with your nail).
8)Then put into hot sterile jars quickly and lid them. Leave undisturbed as they cool. They should form a vacuum as they cool and self seal.
I've now started using a water bath but this is not necessary for a beginner, especially if you are intending to gift or consume them within a few months.
Let us know how you go on
thankyou, will pick up some jars tomorrow and then take the kids blackberry picking:D
to sterilise the jars, do i just put them into boiling water? if tes how long for please?0 -

I just want to say thanks again for the kind words, thoughts and pm's I've recieved over the past few days. I'm feeling a lot better now thank you.
I think a lot of it was down to what day it was and the complete and utter exhaustion I was suffering from and also a bit of lonelyness.
I have been to SADA, I was told in no uncertain terms that they would not be giving out Any leftover money from my very big £38 APGbut if I wanted to buy something that wasn't suitable they would put it onto a gift card when it was returned.
I bought myself a book and some 'normal' shopping as at this point there had been no confirmation of the glitch still working and I wanted to use it at a store much further from my locals so my mum drove to Junction 1.
I must admit that the SA seemed to know quite a bit about the glitches and took me aside to say that I should make the most of it while it lasted as they had been told to say it would be sorted soon but should take a few days yet SADA hoped it would be overnight.

At this rate, we will all be perfect for a job at Sada. Saw an old lady asking for directions to the cake aisle. Before the Sada member of staff could answer, I was "I will show you where it is" and took her off with me. Sada member of staff looked at me with a "OMG" facial expression. Awkward or what......
Could I just ask what dimensions the Robinsons should be in? Is it 1 litre or 2? Could one of you adorable lovelies tell me? I've had a look at the gorgeous HENLANS list, but it does not state the price of the bottle size.
Thanks again all, and loads of love x xThe person who never makes a mistake never learns anything.0 -

OK, feel free to ignore me then if you feel I'm talking nonsense;)
I've obviously imagined all the back and forths trying to clarify what someone meant when the wrong term was used (comparable/qualifying being the most often confused)
No, not nonsense, not at allI think you really know your stuff and I love that you help so many people.
You are receptive too - thank you, it is very much noticed and appreciated0
