| 2 Turn the heat up and bring the fruit and sugar to a boil, boil for 10–15 minutes until setting point has been reached (sticky drops off spoon) |
| 3 Once setting point has been reached, take the pan off the heat, spoon any scum off the top of the jam and leave to sit for about 10 minutes. |
| 4 Ladle the hot jam into warm, sterile jam jars and seal immediately with a screw-top lid. Label once cold. |
