There was no mention of water in the recipe......<br /><br />SB - needed to lie down in darkened room after it. That's me burned out for cooking for about a week. Cans and packets from here on in!<br /><br />YAH - you must divulge how successful your own jam-making turns out! Sounds like a plan for the remaining juice puddle :-)<br /><br />NS - I thought I'd try to make it look good. I took a pic of glass on its own. Looked too forlorn!<br /><br />Christina - today is the day for jam II - fingers crossed it is a success!<br /><br />LM - what's in the skimmed off stuff? Is it bad for you??!<br /><br />Ali xAlison Crosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06565962059926865121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776380217462070463.post-57544586021405411152010-09-09T20:22:08.987+01:002010-09-09T20:22:08.987+01:00oh darling Hestia

I usually put enough in to go half way up the fruit, and only simmer for about 15 minutes, depending on the apple. Some turn to mush just looking at them. I also cover the pan while simmering, so it doesn't all evaporate. Cheese cloth works well for a strainer, or failing that, one of Tertarus's old simmets.<br />Put some Vodka in what you have and pour over ice cream, you won't want to make jelly after that.Wally Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05992375461165449990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776380217462070463.post-14856109419130915842010-09-08T20:45:12.759+01:002010-09-08T20:45:12.759+01:00Ali,

Never made it before!<br /><br />Will try an easier recipe tomorrow.

That's how I do it. also, if you want all the juice to come out of the leftover fruit, push it through the sieve with a wooden spoon.Lisa-Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135752484387782593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776380217462070463.post-48845489653318102132010-09-07T11:04:44.256+01:002010-09-07T11:04:44.256+01:00yes, I think so ;-)yes, I think so ;-)Alison Crosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06565962059926865121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776380217462070463.post-50183766552844636652010-09-07T11:03:12.564+01:002010-09-07T11:03:12.564+01:00Is brambles another name for blackberries?Is brambles another name for blackberries?Mysticahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10941269615559681014noreply@blogger.com
