|
woooohooooo
I have made my first ever batch of jam! I bought 700g of frozen morrello cherries for £2 at Asda and got some cherry Brandy and jam sugar and set to I layered the cherries with 500 g of sugar and left it over night I put it in a pan with the juice that had come off the cherries while they defrosted and the juice of a small lemon and boiled for about 20 mins I added a good glug of cherry brandy and mixed well then turned off the heat and wow I have jam! I put it onto one big clip lid jar and one screw lid jar and naughty me I scraped out the pan with a crust of bread  I couldnt resist! it was lovely just like the oneI had found at Lakeland I loved so much, but cant get to the store the nearest is about 100 miles away

Congratulations! It is so satisfying when you are able to make something you love. I am sure it is delicious. Now I want to make some jam- see what you started? If I lived there, I would make some homemade bread and try to talk you into parting with a little of your jam.

hmmm home made bread now you got me to thiking he he he, I would share the jam with pleasure my fav part of cooking is sharing what I have made makes it all the more sattisfying if someone else enjoys it, i was not so sure if frozen defrosted fruit would work but ill be spreading my wings and trying other frozen fruits thinking now of mixed fruits with blackcurrant liquor might be good. thank you for your comment
