Known as a British recipe, with similar versions prepared across other nations.

Ingredients 5 ingredients

  1. four pounds of fruit
  2. Must
  3. a pint of water
  4. Rub
  5. a pound of sugar

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.

Method

  1. Allow a pound of sugar to the pound of fruit, and a pint of water to every four pounds of fruit.
  2. Boil fruit and water until soft, then rub through a coarse hair sieve.
  3. Return to the pan, and boil with the sugar (previously moistened with boilingwater) until the jam sets.
  4. This is very nice, though rather more trouble than the usual methods.
  5. Note.
  6. — The water used for moistening the sugar must be taken from the quantity named above.
  7. To keep the jam green, some boil it fast, both before and after the sugar is added, for not more than half an hour in all.
