Challenge 3 - Jam making!
Indubitably one of my favourite annual rituals. The making of the jam.
It turned out quite well. It's certainly delicious, but I did not get the pectin quite right. Experimentation is the name of the game and there are only really two things that can go wrong with jam making. You can either make it too runny or too set. Too runny is just called fruit cordial and too set is called jelly. Not a problem!
The number of times I have ended up with rather less jam than I was planning, and rather more cordial are "many". But it is all about bottling the flavour and the goodness of fruits to keep you in variety and sunshine over the winter, so it doesn't much matter if you spread it on toast, or dilute it and drink it.
