Jams

Ingredients

• ripe fruit (not over-ripe, bruised, or injured)
• white preserving sugar (crushed)

Directions

1. Use a copper pan or enamelled iron for cooking.

2. Cook the fruit with sugar, stirring continuously if not skimming.

3. Remove scum as it rises while boiling, or stir it in if not skimming.

4. Ensure jars are perfectly dry before pouring in the jam.

5. Wash jars the day before, dry them, and cover to keep dust out.
