Jammy

Hmm. This jam-making? Clearly there is more to be learned. The first time I made the melon-and-ginger, it didn't set and I had to reboil. This time I went all belt-and-braces: boiled it past the official setting-point and used high-pectin sugar.

Result? Glue. V tasty glue, but it is way stiffer than I like in a jam.

I'm just going to have to do it again. Sigh.

I knew someone once who was aiming for marmalade and ended up with hard orange-flavoured toffee.
