Don't know about the 11th september, ours developed grey mould a good three weeks ago (ie end of august). Maybe it's that north/south thing. Although I remember a rupert story that included the thing of september blackberries being no good. (good old daily express!) I think you've all done more jam than I have, although I did manage gooseberry, plum, blackberry and ginger jelly, strawberry and lots of pear variations. Now focussing on the chutnies and vegetable marrow curd.
AAARRRGGHHH! Suddenly realised today that in all this frenzied preserving I haven't started the Christmas cake.
