The flake test's when the jam drops off your wooden spoon in solid looking 'blocks' rather than watery drips.VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-25329785127318819832010-01-11T12:45:23.113+00:002010-01-11T12:45:23.113+00:00ha ha

Like you, I've hoarded mine. You could try your neighbours and ask then to save their empty jars for you. They don't have to be just jam - I'm using golden syrup, honey and even good old Mrs Pataks curry paste jars - well washed out I hasten to add!<br /><br />Failing that you could try Freecycle in your area. I believe Lakeland do a set of them for a reasonable price. Try any kitchen shop, and I believe Wiggly Wigglers do them too, though postage will make them more expensive than buying locally.<br /><br />Hope that helps and happy jam making!VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-55161511084988462752009-08-17T18:17:28.407+01:002009-08-17T18:17:28.407+01:00Love the recipe for Ruhbarb and Ginger Jam, i deci...Love the recipe for Ruhbarb and Ginger Jam, i decided earlier in the year to grow Ruhbarb and now i have lots of the stuff so im going to give this recipe a go. just need to find some jam jars to put it all in, if you know of anywhere i could get some would love to know, i have been saving some but still need a few more really as want to make some of it for xmas presents.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02408160884466848070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-72614031182327416012009-04-14T08:28:00.000+01:002009-04-14T08:28:00.000+01:00Sylvia - I still do eat and enjoy fattening things...Sylvia - I still do eat and enjoy fattening things!<br /><br />OFB - the strawberry-rhubarb combo's a new one on me.

I'll look you up via Blotanical :)<br /><br />Kate - no sign of brain addling from my viewpoint, just a lovely story! You've described exactly how Jelly is made over here too. We like the chunkiness of jam though. I might try making some crab apple jelly later in the year as part of my planned hedgerow harvest.<br /><br />Anna - go on, have a go it's easy peasy!VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-13458841363230992492009-04-11T22:25:00.000+01:002009-04-11T22:25:00.000+01:00Thanks VP and most timely.

Last weekend, I went to the market and bought 'rhubarb strawberry jam. I was so excited to see it that I didn't stop to look at the contents carefully. What a disappointment ~ I definitely had jelly which had absolutely no fruit taste at all. Not one piece of fruit could be found which made me think of my mum's crabapple jelly ~ she makes it by boiling up the crabapples, popping them in cheesecloth and letting them drip out their juices. Since her jelly always tastes delicious, I asked her about the obvious jelly I had just bought. We figured the sugar and certo were in much greater quantity than the supposed fruit juice. (I love my mum because she then handed me a jar of her special raspberry jam and all disappointment was immediately forgotten). Sorry for the ramble ~ there's a hockey game on and it addles my brain! Have a wonderful weekend, VP!kate smudgeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10564410520744285676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-27772989597540941402009-04-09T23:42:00.000+01:002009-04-09T23:42:00.000+01:00Mm, we had stewed rhubarb today, our first of the ...Mm, we had stewed rhubarb today, our first of the season but alas not from my veg plot.
