Apologies for what is probably a really daft question, but, do you hold your jam thermometer with it's base of the bottom of the pan or do you hold it slightly above??!

I do slightly above

I agree slightly above, the metal pan is likely to be hotter than the jam and would mess your temperature up

Thank you!
