Raspberry jam

We were at Rectory Farm again at the weekend, this time for raspberries! There were loads ready for picking, and also some ready picked jam raspberries (which was just as well as I'm not sure how long it would take to pick the amount of raspberries I was after!)

I made a big batch of raspberry jam, which dad suggested would be good on scones with clotted cream, so obviously in the interests of testing the jam (ahem), we thought we should try it out.....


(....and he was right, it is good on scones, with clotted cream!)

I also made a small batch of raspberry and nectarine jam, which uses a raspberry puree for the raspberry part of the jam - so no seeds! It's a smooth, dark red jam with chunks of nectarine in it and smells and tastes lovely.



So I have 11 jars of raspberry jam, and 5 jars of raspberry and nectarine jam for sale, all at £2.95. I also made another batch of Grandma's beetroot chutney, so I have 12 jars of that for sale. Let me know if you'd like to order some, at jill.mceachern@ntlworld.com
