Sounds like my cooking in general! We never have the same thing twice!

I've not yet found anything to equal my Granny's Fig & Rhubarb Jam. I'm sure it's been enhanced by happy childhood memories but it really was fabulous. Needless to say, I haven't managed to replicate it for myself and Granny is long gone, so can't hand down her wisdom. I'll keep trying!

Carrot and watermelon, as tasted in Sudan. Just scrummy.
Actually its disgusting, my fave is Bonne Maman raspberry jam, beautiful.

Mmmm, my favourites are homemade Blackcurrant Jam, Crab Apple Jelly either on its own or with Thyme sometimes Rosemary, Apple and Chilli Jelly and 5 Fruit Marmalade.

My favourites jam from last year was Flummery's Rhubarb and Orange Jelly

I found the recipe on her blog:-

I made my first ever jam last year with wild raspberries, it was gorgeous, so much so that we are going to make the long drive to get some more of the rasps this year

does anyone have a recipe for apple and strawberry jam by any chance? my BIL says he used to buy it from the supermarket and it was the best he's ever had but when he contacted the maker they said they didnt make it anymore!

so i thought i'd make a few jars for his christmas (oops sorry said that word!!) hamper this year.

I might have, will have a look and if so can PM you, worth doing a search on grapevine as someone might have put one on

Just has to be chilli jam - it's gorgeous! Can't have any at the moment, of course.

Plum and chilli jam. Lovely on toast, bread, or with cold meat and cheese

[sewer rat]

I make and sell loads of different jams, jellies, chutneys and sauces throughout the year but my fave jam is straight raspberry, my fave chutney is beetroot chutney, my fave sauce is Spitfire Chilli Sauce and because I can't separate them, my two fave jellies are Rowan Jelly and Quince Jelly.

My Mum use to make fig and rhubarb jam, it was wonderful stuff, you might be in luck, I have the recipe somewhere in one of her old recipe books what she wrote in, I'll have a good look round for it tomorrow, I'll post it in the Kitchen section and I'll P.M it to you Seahorse. She also made strawberry jam with black pepper in it, and a mean marrow and ginger jam as well, she would have been 80 this year if she'd still been with us.
