When I was very young there were berry bushes near our home. My parents called them "dewberries"(U.S.A.) We children would pick them and mom would make cobbler and jelly. For just a few seconds, this brought back the wonderful smells of that sweet berry juice, my mom at the stove, stirring away. I loved being in the kitchen with her. She would have loved your beautiful test plate. Thank you, from a 70 year old admirer of your channel.
Hello Judy, wow! So many good memories, here they are also known as bramble berry's. The china is antique James Kent & Co Empress pattern we run www.vintage-and-antiques.co.uk in our spare time. So glad you enjoyed the video.
@@gardenerscottageblakeney1316 Thank you for the link. Love your website and every thing British. My ancestors trace back to 1500's and more, Archbishop of Canterbury; William Whittlesey. My father's cousin researched and printed in the 1940's. My father's sister found copies in the1970's, and my son's teacher found a copy in The Clayton Library, Houston,Texas. My father, mother, and oldest sister are recorded. Wish that my adventurous ancestors had stayed in England, or I had visited while I was able! I look forward to your Utube posts.
Thank you Naomi. Glad you enjoyed the video on jam making. Im not sure. I think it may vary depending on the fruit as the amount of sugar you add may differ. Mike makes the jam so I will ask him, kind regards, Kate
Hi this depends on the fruit and how much pectin there is in it and how much water. If you watch the full video it explains how to know when its ready and how to do a set test. You have to be careful not to overboil it or it will go to thick. Its usually around 15 minutes.

Great, straightforward recipe, just made some today and it turned out lovely - had some on a buttered scone with clotted cream, yum-tastic 😋
Wonderful with a scone and cream glad you loved it
Yummmy....😋
Thank you for sharing your lovely Jam..Sir!!
My pleasure 😊
Yummy 😋 😋
Its definitely one of our favourite home made jams all the flavour of late summer packed into a fruit
love it😀
We have been eating it on scones since this was made and its one of the best yet.
Love it
can other berries such as raspberries or strawberries be added in with the blackberries. Does this change instructions of making the jam?
