Congratulations JR!

I'm having a go at jam right now for the very first time ever too. Hoping it'll be a lifelong habit with an abundance of jam to give away and enjoy!

I'm not a jam expert, by any means, always making mistakes, but I used all old jars of various shapes and sizes in 2003 for my rhubarb and ginger jam, sterilised the clean jars in as hot a water as I could manage, put in the hot jam, put the lids on and when it was a bit cooler, tightened the lids, and I am still eating it now, got 2 jars left as OH doesn't like it. You can hear the lids popping as they make a vacuum.

My strawberry jam last year was superb, even if I do say so myself, but the ones I made yesterday, didn't set as well as I thought, but then I realised, I'd forgot to add a knob of butter. Does anyone know if that's why? When I put a little of the jam on a cold plate and put it in fridge, it went crinkly a bit.

even my kids are impressed and shocked me when they said it tastes like proper jam :shock:

grannie annie i followed the recipe on this site and never used any butter.

can i make rubarb jam using the same method i used for the tayberry?

cheers
