  1. A couple of days ago I made my first batch of 2011 fig jam using a mixture of re-used jars

    1 x Le Parfait with wired-on lid

    1 x Aldi pasta sauce

    1 x pate/terrine type

    2 x Le Parfait "proper" jam jars

    As much as I enjoy making jams and giving them to friends I am reluctant to give away our best Le Parfait with screw lids. Hence holding on to anything capable of holding jam and recycling them.

    As an aside the fig jam is even sweeter than normal despite my using less sugar (only 1kg of confisuc : 2.2kg fruit). The figs exuded far more water than anticipated. The state of the fig tree this morning hints at more jammery this p.m. so will have to wait and see what happens.

    TTFN
