| Apple and Bramble Jam *ting* |
This has been a happy experience. A new skill has been learned, if not exactly mastered. (I think they may be very over-solidified.) The frothy skimmings been consumed on some freshly-made soda scones, and I can confirm the general deliciousness of the final product. I don't think the jam is gift-able, which is a shame - one jar could have made a nice little Christmas present for someone. But for a first attempt, I think this can be declared a qualified success.
The only casualty has been my tea towel. It is currently soaking in some stain-removing product called Wizz Oxi Ultra Plus, which my predecessors left behind. Friend Claire the Chemist watched with scientific interest as the tea towel turned from purple to black to brown to a kind of dirty beige, poking it occasionally with a plastic whisk selected for its non-reactive properties. If this stuff works, I will give it a massive plug on this blog, because it will truly be a miracle product. This despite the rather alarming instructions NOT to put the damp scoop back in the tub, lest it produce some kind of oxygen explosion under the sink.
The sugar cost £1.
That is six jars of jam for £1.
Definite Frugal Win. :)

Is this where I note: 'jammy git'? Glad you had a fun time... I look forward to [hopefully] tasting the fruits of your labours. I hope you did actually manage to extract all the nasty wee hairs from the berries... jus' sayin'. ;P
I wouldn't bother too much about returning your tea-towel to its original state. Boil it, and keep it for the next batch of jelly.
