Luckily, I had a small bag of damsons with their stones in so cooked these, squeezed out the stones and added the rest to the blueberries. The zest of a whole lemon, its juice, plus more were added alongside the sugar:
One jar of the blueberry jam was taken by my nursing buddy S.H., who called yesterday for a quick visit. It is always good to catch up.
I have found that these 'accidental' jams are invariably absolutely delicious! Blueberry, damson and lemon sounds the best!

Just hope it wasn’t over cooked.
DeleteI've fell for pulling out the wrong fruits so many times, I've been very good at labelling this year so hopefully it won't happen again. Your labels look very neat.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I try to line them up level if possible.
DeleteNothing tastes as good as home made jam, I like the real pieces of fruit, you don't get that in the commercial jam now .
ReplyDeleteThese will have lots of skins, another thing missing from commercial jams.
DeleteSounds delicious. There is so much more flavour to home made jams.
ReplyDeleteCertainly is.
DeleteHome made jam is a world apart from shop bought isn't it? There's so much more intensity of flavour, which means I can use it more sparingly! Should hit target tomorrow 🙂
ReplyDeleteVery true although we tend to use probably too much at a time. Good luck for tomorrow.
DeleteOur last 3-4 meeeeaals from the freezer were lucky dip as the labels had fallen off. Well done, you made some lovely jam.
