Good on you burtha, making things 'yours' will help you to move on.

A quick question for you lovely ladies - How do you make plum jam? I have got a large bag full of plums, far too many for myself and my neighbours to eat so I have decided to make jam. My main query is when weighing the plums should the stones be in or out? Also, when the jam has cooked, should I try and remove all the skins? I know you lovely lot will keep me right!

Back to de-stoning!

I like to add cinnamon to mine makes a nice change. I use 10g cinnamon powder to 1kg stoned plums xx

Here's to contentment monna. I think you might have stumbled across it again. x

Camelot - I weigh with stones and skim the stones out with a slotted spoon after the sugar has been added. Saves a messy job! The recipe I use is from the old Dairy Cookbook. 3lb Plums, 3/4pint water and 3lb sugar - always comes out well.
Monna - I was trying to get over to Bembridge this weekend but no joy - so pleased that your spirits are lifting and that awful black cloud is dissipating - Hugs.
