More presents made

I have been busy in the kitchen this morning making marmalade. I managed to get 3 jars of orange with King's Ginger liquor added:
And three jars with Brandy:
Three or four of these are designated as hand over gifts rather than postal. The rest will be for us during the next few months.

They just need some nice labels and material topping then they will be good to go!

    Those jars are beautiful!! I'm in Canada, and our jars are different, how do you seal these? We have a lid and a ring to hold it on till it seals in a water bath canner, but yours are different! Just curious...Thanks!

      The bottom jars are from Lidl, the top ones are a French style jar Bonne Maman. They previously had bought jam in them. We don’t have canners in this country. Jars are reused generally but new ones can be bought for this purpose.

      Hot jam is put into hot jars that have been sterilised. The clean lid is screwed on straight away. As the jam cools the lid pops and it is ready. They last for a few years like this although are usually eaten within a year.

    I bet the marmalade with the ginger wine in it is lovely.
