Thanks Piskie.
Was having a rotten day at work and you really cheered me up. The jam looks lovely by the way

[jackie j]

LOL but they are cute little jars at least you filled them with jam are they the size you would get with your cream tea ???? if yes there you go make some scones and have a tea party lol. I'll send the cream lol.

[piskieinboots]

good idea JJ - I'll open up as Camp Cream Teas whilst SD is away

.....as Camp Cream Teas ....

Saucy!

They are a great size...Sainsbury do a cream tea and the jam comes inone of those....we keep the jar and when we make a batch of Jam we bung a load in the oven as there is always just too much for 5 jars and not enough for 6 so we bung the rest in the little pots.

I luurrrrve you NOGs I really do - see I knew there was a reason I bought 'em

[shirlthegirl43]

If you are like me and eat jam once in a purple sky, then you won't open the jar to find it is wasted by having gone odd since you last had some

[piskieinboots]

on a slightly off-side(ish) issue - I feel that the jam was a little too 'firm' although boiled (gently) for the required time, I managed to squeeze it into the philes (erm, jars), but am wondering - can you slacken it?

I'm thinking blueberry and vodka jam 'ere Too late now, but worth knowing for next time.

[NOG]

No it only goes one way. I never time Jam, I go for the plate in the freezer...boil it up till you think it is near then bung a bit on a frozen plate...if it crenkles...its done.
