Day off = raining = hubble bubble, jam pan on the boil could spell trouble! Not in this case though!
It's not been a great year on the old produce front but I have got some cracking blackberries. Two recipes on the mix tidy, the first is bottled already.
Spiced blackberry jam is so easy to make , equal quantities of blackberries and sugar plus some fresh lemon and a dollop of mixed spice.
I like to macerate the fruit overnight in the sugar, getting a better set. Slowly bring to the boil and jam....done. It's delicious.
Currently got a muddled berry jam on the go which is a mixture of blackberries, black currants and raspberries, although you can use any combo of soft fruits for this. Add orange to the lemon with this one and away you go. Should be ready to boil later.
Another job for the day is to bottle up the blackberry liqueur made last winter...it will be special brew by now and is swooper as a tipple or lush to put over vanilla icecream.
Won't be long now and it'll be all things sloe........
Macerated fruit
