What fruit have you got?

[Jack.308 40]

I belive 2lb of sugar to 3lb of fruit cook it in a sauce pan not to hot to burn the sugar but hot enough to render down the fruit and dilute the sugar cook for around half hour you'll know when its ready make sure asoon as the fruit and sugar go on the heat constantly stir it and stir it well if not your going to end up in a right old mess and dont forget NOT TO HOT

you can check if its going to set by putting some on a cold plate, if it stays runny cook it longer

1kg damsons , 1.3kg sugar,300ml water, simmer the damsons in the water for about 20 mins and reduce the pulp to about half.screen the pips out and skins, I use a slotted spoon. Add the sugar steadily till it dissolves. Boil rapidly for about 8/10 mins and test for setting by using either a sugar thermometer which I find at 105c is ok. But I like the cold plate method.done lots this year.if you find it's a little sweet just reduce the sugar buy a ounce.

Do a search for Microwave Jam Recipe......great if you don't have pounds of fruit, it's quick, and works a treat.

Tried it with raspberries.

It forced me to request more scones from Mrs Jay!
