Title: can not see recipes
Post by: kevinp on August 13, 2010, 07:44

Is there any reason why I can not see the recipes in the link at the top any more ? I was looking through them ok earlier this week now I just get taken back to the index. :)

I am going to make Blackberry and apple jam for the first time and I have just picked a couple of pounds of wild plum, and I have also found a sloe bush as well so looking for ideas for that.

Here you are I have pasted the recipe for you so you can get cooking  :)

Ingredients:


3 lbs (1.35 kg)  blackberries
1 lb (450 g) apples
¼ pint (145 ml) water
4 lb (1.8 kg) sugar
Method:

Peel and core the apples. Weigh and cut into slices.
Put into a preserving pan with just enough water to prevent the apples burning.
Simmer gently until the apples are soft.
Pick over and wash the blackberries, drain well and put into a pan with ¼ pint water.
Stew until tender and add to the cooked apples.
Test for pectin.
Add the sugar and stir until dissolved.
Bring to the boil and boil rapidly for about 10 minutes, until the jam sets when tested.
Remove the scum.
Pot and seal at once.
Makes approximately 6 lbs (2.7 kg)  of jam.
