Insert usual husband rant (you all know the score by now), complaint about a slightly sore back and the existence of tuna . It's Spawn4's birthday and she loves tuna pasta bake hence I'm having to deal with the vile stuff.

I’ve not made jam for 10 years but this week I’ve made
Strawberry.
Strawberry and Raspberry
Damson
Marrow and Ginger
It’s going on the church stall tomorrow for sale.
Of course this might be avoided if you get dead jammy in terms of luck. (Sorry … couldn't resist that one.)
I've made a load tonight; need to empty the freezer of fruit to stockpile. I get really impatient waiting for it to set though. Do you use a thermometer?
Thanks. I've got pectin powder too. I just don't think I boil it for long enough.Yes I use a thermometer, but I still rely on the method of putting a few plates in the freezer.
Then when it’s reached setting point, put a drop on the cold plate, if it crinkles then it will set.
I keep testing every few minutes to achieve setting point. This can take between 5 or 15 minutes.
Underripe fruit sets better than over ripe fruit.
If fruit has been frozen add a few chopped up cooking apples and the juice of 2 lemons (high in pectin which helps it set).
Yes but what a way to go.Many years ago I read a SciFi novel called 'Greener than you think.' Very prophetic for it's day. In it a fellah treated his lawn with some kind of potion and the grass started to grow, and grow … and spread … and spread ... to the point of a grass apocalypse.
I'm starting to think Carole is producing a similar kind of yarn: 'Jammyer than you Think.'
