Title: Jam :D
Post by: Pollo on December 01, 2010, 00:35

Ok, so im considering starting jam making . I know how you make it i think, you mash up the fruit, then add boiling water, then a cupfull of sugar, then stir. What im asking is, What do you think is the best fruit to start with?

or click on the recipe tab at the top, loads of jam recipes/help there :)

I wouldn't start with strawberries though, cos it's difficult to get  that one to set.
