Ingredients:
- 1.1kg cooking apples (Bramleys are best)
- Several sprigs of your chosen herb(s)
- 4 tbsp chopped fresh herb leaves, such as mint, rosemary or thyme
- 568ml distilled malt vinegar
- 455-900g caster sugar

- Roughly chop the apples, leaving the skins on. Put them in a preserving pan along with their pips and stalks and add 568ml water and the sprigs of your chosen herb(s). Cook gently for 20-30 minutes until mushy. Add the vinegar, increase the heat and cook briskly for about 5 minutes.
- Pour the mix (you should have about 2 litres at this stage) into a jelly bag suspended over a deep pan and strain for at least 12 hours – don’t be tempted to squeeze the bag or the jelly will go cloudy.
- Take the strained juice and measure it; you should have about 568ml. Add 455g sugar for every 568ml and warm the mixture gently until the sugar has dissolved.
- Once the sugar has dissolved, bring to the boil and allow to bubble briskly for at least 10-12 minutes, or until it starts to set (it should begin to coat the back of a wooden spoon).
- Once it has reached setting point, remove from the heat, skim off any scum from the surface with a spoon and stir through the chopped herbs. Leave to settle for 5 minutes. Spoon into your warm sterilised jars, seal with a wax disc and lid and store for up to 6 months.

- 1L water
- 3 chillies
- 1 lemon
- approx 1kg granulated sugar (equal sugar to juice)

- Cover the apples with the water, cover and leave to boil for 40-50mins till the apples begin to mush
- Strain the pulp through some muslin to get your spicy apple juice, transfer to a jug and measure the volume of liquid.
- Return the juice to a large saucepan with the juice of a lemon and an equal amount of sugar to liquid, along with the remaining two chillies, seeds removed and finely chopped.
- Bring to the boil and skim any white residue that settles on the top. Continue on a rolling boil for 10-15 mins until jam setting point. This should be around 105C or till it coats the back of a spoon.
- Transfer to sterilised jars and seal.

- 1 Kg plums (stoned & quartered (I used Marjorie))
- 1 Kg Bramley apples (cooking apples, peeled cored and roughly chopped)
- 1.8 Kg granulated sugar
- 600 mls water

- Place water, plums and apples into a preserving pan and simmer until fruit is softened (about 15 minutes).
- Add sugar over a low heat and stir until dissolved (do not simmer).
- Bring to a rolling boil and time for 12 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Take off the heat and test on a chilled plate (place in fridge for 30 seconds), if it crinkles (is jelly like) when you drag your finger through it, it’s ready.
- If not boil for another couple of minutes at a time and repeat test.
- Skim off any foam from the surface with a spoon.
- Ladle the jam into the hot sterilised jars using a jam funnel if you have one (it makes it much easier) and screw the lids on immediately..
- Will make 10 - 12 small to average sized jars, about 1.68 litres.
