Haven't tried it MJ but I'd figure that neither has got a lot of pectin to give a good set. I'd suggest some lemon juice, Certo or Blue Circle to help set.

yups . someone told me to add a teaspoon curry powder to plum jam apparantly it puts a real zing to the sweetness of the plums :shock:

Should work. I always take black pepper on strawberries, melon or papaya. Salt and pepper on fresh pineapple. Ground ginger on melon is good too.

That is a big freezer.
I'd go with ginger personally - good with rhubarb
