That's great, Christina! I'm going to have a go at making my own jam during this week, for 1st time just like you!

I've brought home loads of yellow plums from the allotment but there are only so many you can eat! I've frozen some, given some away & watched while others rot on the ground under the trees! :-( It seems such a shame to see fruit go to waste like that!

Like the apple tree our shed is under. Loads of apples have fallen off it & are rotting on the ground around the shed so I've started to pick up some of the biggest & least damaged to bring home. Only today I brought home 1.250kg. Trouble is that they are cookers & not dessert apples & Gerry says they are very late ripeners.

hi balconey ,am sure you will love it i only made 3 jars , but we used 1 allready and my frend wants 1 so only 1 left lol. need to get cracking and make more. its dead easy and much cheaper tan buing t.i got loads of plumes from the stables as well ,so gona do plum jam now . shame to waste friut ,i know hun. is there no 1 who can take it. !!!!!!!! ;0( hope ur jams as nice as mine ermmmm x

We made some jam a few weeks ago Cristina, my daughter picked the fruit from a nearby farm, we had to pay for it though. We made 2 lbs of blackcurrant and 2 lbs of blackberry. Our daughter was fed up of bending and picking the blackcurrants so she changed to picking the blackberries that is why we had both. They taste very nice though much better than what you buy in a shop, probably due to there being a higher percentage of fruit in it ;-)

lol richared, you are so right hun. my jam is lovely . not toooo sweet . oh loves it and my frend who wonts to pinch a jar. only made 3 jars, now wish i dun more lol. picked some plumes from the stables were i keep my horse and put in freezer 4 now.

I made some plum jam last week and it was the first time ever for me. we have a plum tree which had a very large yeild this year, we have given lots away and also eaten loads ourself, but there is only so much you can eat, so I made jam, It was like yours, lovely and tasty, so now I will use your recipe Cristina, buy some Damsons and Hey Ho and away I go. No free damsons here,so I might move by you.

your wellcome hun hope ur jam is nice too. u cud plant a damson tree lol . i think that snow had something to do wth the high yeilds dont you. every 1 saying the same .i need more jars lol. do you think u can use tupperware .

I did make some plum jam the other day but I used too much water! After leaving it for a day I put it back in the saucepan & heated it up for the best part of an hour to evaporate the water. I seem to have done it well because now the jam is a lot firmer. I must get round to trying out my cooking now!

you cud have put a cap of lemon juice in it which helps it set as well. is it nice, mines lovely def b doing it again . Wot are you cooking , lol dont you eat ur own food lol ;0p

Doesn't your horse get a bit cold Cristina, keeping him in the freezer ...........lol ;-)

lol rich had to read wot i put there hun lol. the plubs are in the freezer ,durrrr . ha ha they ar from our stables . and he is a she . her name is sunshine .... lol ;0)))) so funny. errrm wonder if it wud stop her ageing !!!! ;0p

It didn't need any more help to set - it's now like toffee! I've had a couple of sandwiches & the jam was very nice!

lol u made me laf , ;0))) as long as you can eat it haha x

Sounds tasty Balcony home made toffee is very good for you ;-)

lol richard xx

The jar is going down much faster than I thought it would & I'm the only one eating it! I have make a few sandwiches & had it on toast a couple of times but being so thick it's very difficult to spread out! It goes on thicker than I would normally like.

omg balcony i am crying wth lafter hun lol lol lol you are so funny !!!!!!!!!! wot bt a blow torch lol might melt it a bit haha
