HennyPenny Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 I am soooooooo excited! Delia's Gooseberry and Elderflower Preserve - dead easy and tastes delicious! Picked the gooseberries from our garden this morning - this is the Good Lfe! Now all I need is a Village Fair in Kent that has a jam-making competition for me to enter........

Mrs Frugal Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Fab, Henny Penny ! Doesn't it leave you with a wonderful sense of achievement to see the jars lined up and cooling!! I love making jam . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam42 Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 I like jam making too, normally victoria plum but I'm tempted to try strawberry this year but think it's harder to get it to set. Gooseberry and elderflower sounds good too though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 I love making jam as well - I just hate having to find somewhere to put it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillfamily Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 I'm hoping to make some rhubarb jam soon - loads of it in the garden. Just need to finish the re vamp of the chicken area and dig out a new pond then I will have some spare time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickpea Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 I'm hoping to get around to making some plum jam this year, that and wine, rosehip syrup..the list goes on and I fear I will not do any of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 I've never made jam, but my mum does a great line in damson jam- just watch for the stones She also makes good lemon curd. Well done all you preservers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 I made lemon curd last week . Lovely to make and even lovelier to eat . We've just been to a PYO farm and come home with 11lbs strawberries which will end up as jam, ice cream and sorbets. There's also a couple of pounds of gooseberries in the kitchen from our own bushes waiting to be turned into gooseberry and mint jelly. Lesley you need more shelves .
