Great work on making the jams, I can't wait to make a plum one! I am going to do a gooseberry one today and maybe a cherry one next weekend<br />1) it is a little trick to help the seal work and make sure they are sterile too, an old Polish tradition/method. Also I then went and boiled the bottles (right way up) in a water bath for an hour or so to make sure they are sterile.<br />2) they didn't quite set to make a total jelly like a store bought jame, there is quite a bit of movement in them. So more like a preserve than a conserve. The theory is that I should have used more "less ripe" fruit, as these have more pectin in them, or I could have boiled longer. But to be honest I am happy with how they are. :) The taste is amazing!Gee Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09446458659738736594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461482.post-8862218116540285722010-06-20T08:47:52.300+02:002010-06-20T08:47:52.300+02:00That strawberry desert looks amazing.

And Lindt is VERY good chocolate. <br />Two questions about your jam.<br />1)Why are the jars turned upside down?<br />2)Did the jam set without pectin?<br /><br />I made some jams in the summer here...some kiwifruit, and plum. Plum was by far the bestest. Yum. Oh, and I see you have mint....I made mint jelly too.Erinhttp://www.embejoetc.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
