Jam making has been my hobby for many years after moving to Essex in the early 1980s. Where possible fruit is locally sourced and mainly grown in our garden on the Essex Cambridgeshire border.
Jam making does takes patience and a tolerance of heat.
The objective is to use fruit with the minimal of waste and also encourage the re-use of clean jam jars. My range is confined to jams, jellies and marmalades.
Small batches are made in six or seven jars at a time, typically 60% fruit to 40% sugar, allowing the fruit to remain the dominant flavour and sugar the preservative.
Only the current season’s production is offered for sale.
For single people and those who need to eat less I am producing small sized jams in re-cycled jam jars as opposed to the 340g (12oz) or 450g (1lb) standard jars. Some jars and lids are recycled and others are purchased
Jam is made with the whole fruit with only the stones or pips being discarded. Jelly is made when the fruit juice is strained from the cooked pulp Marmalade is really a jam, unless it is strained as in jelly making
Enjoy jam on toast, porridge or on desserts. Jams and jellies can be used with meat platters and also with the cheese board. Jelly can be used as a glaze or marinade and marmalade is an excellent glaze for ham.
Jam, jellies and marmalade can be obtained from the trolley at the end of the drive (weather permitting), local farmers markets, craft fayres or by email/telephone. southacres@btinternet.com 0781 543 7360.
