apple and ginger jam

Recommended Posts

made this today (after the hawthorn jelly dissapointment) and it is delicious. We have a glut of apples in the garden - definitely worth doing. I halved the amounts and it made over 6 jars worth. It tastes really sweet and strong ginger - really nice. :dance:

that's funny. Its called apple and ginger jam, but the ginger is optional! :o lol Does sound good though. I love ginger, so much so that when I bought a pot of glace ginger for making ginger biscuits, its mysteriously disappeared . . . :anxious: . I made some biscuits once from the recipe on the back of a spice jar. I think it was apple, date and walnuts. But they didn't even mention the walnuts in the ingredients of the recipe!
