We do use that type of processing for bottling whole fruits and what not, but for jams, chutneys and marmalades we just sterilise the jars and lids and seal while hot. It's the same all over Europe. <br /><br />Get Pam's book!

This lemon marmalade is very different than Marisa's. I will have to try this.<br /><br />About the water bath process, how come you don't do that in the UK? Not required I assume? I think sometimes in the US things are 'overprocessed.'<br />Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11717898669803221775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4691966360028175204.post-11703996986600204792010-04-27T18:52:52.090+01:002010-04-27T18:52:52.090+01:00Your vanilla-lemon marmalade looks delicious, I...Your vanilla-lemon marmalade looks delicious, I'm definitely going to make it!

What I ...Coby - who really understands seasonality? What I will say though, is that after I got back from Australia and we bought our house, I was intensely excited by the promise of home grown passion fruit from the vine in our garden. But sadly, they don't ripen. Curses! We do get pretty flowers all through what is meant to be the fruit season though... Small consolation.<br /><br />Cheah - I'll Fed-Ex one over! :)<br /><br />Ms. Humble - So good you commented twice! Hee hee :)<br /><br />Laura - Yeah, we're The Jam Brains. (Sounds like a band, no?)<br /><br />Marie - That's why this is becoming gifts. Two men do NOT 11 jars of jam need, lovely though it is.<br /><br />Andy - Are you serious? Bee Keeping? If you don't blog about it, I'll be very cross! Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall (who I love btw) mentioned once that urban hives make the best honey, because of all the different pollen available. Maybe I should give it a go? Not that Cardiff is exactly 'urban'.<br /><br />Joy - Thanks, that's so sweet! Had no idea. Will be over now.<br /><br />Jessie - My favourite way is crumpets.

Anything that requires boiling after putting in the jar doesn't get made in my house.<br /><br />Mother Rimmy - It would be a great gift!<br /><br />Mae - I think if you replace the lid it's all good. I don't know about in the States, but here, grannies re-use old jars all the time, and they don't even change the lids. Personally, I find that icky. If someone gave me a jar of homemade whatever, and the lid had the brand name of something else on it - say Branston pickle - then I would expect the homemade stuff to taste like whatever was in the jar originally. Irrational, but there you go. New lids = way to go. Still need to try your okra!<br /><br />Brie - Close up, it looks gritty. But the grit is vanilla! It's like an ugly bonus. :)<br /><br />Bigarade - Your name makes sense now! Never made curd. But it's only a matter of time, I'm sure. Only thing is it doesn't keep as long, and after jarring things, I think it's nice to put them away and forget about them for a while.<br /><br />Drick - what else have you put up? Will have to come check it out.<br /><br />Belinda - Give it a go! (Mine's almost all been given away) <br /><br />Liz - Thanks! It would be amazing with cream cheese!<br /><br />Shirley - Personally, I think it's the second best way. The best is sliced and used to garnish a Bloody Mary! :)Mr. Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16283387618237622156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4691966360028175204.post-68122111900137240692009-12-07T04:14:34.598+00:002009-12-07T04:14:34.598+00:00Great way to use lemons.
