Yes, not happy with the way things have gone Ray, but that is life.
We will be back.
Photobucket is a pain, again.
Stolen fruit is the best.
Two hours worth of collecting in 5 sites.
Trust me,
3 hours in there, cleaning and removing all the stones to leave me with 5kg or 10 pounds of fruit.
Add a litre of water, and bring to the boil for about 20 minutes, then add 4.5kg of sugar.
Boil for about 90 minutes till all the water is gone, testing cold viscosity from time to time.
In the mean time sterilise all the bottles and lids in the dishwasher.
Once cooked, use a jug to decant hot (it is dangerous) jam into bottles.
Add lids once all is done.
Take a bottle outside, check the light penetration, take a photo and gloat.
I add extra lemon juice, as I prefer a slightly tangy jam.
Also less sugar than recommend, but it still is very sweet.
Need more fruit now.
