  3. Once it has reached a rolling boil lower the heat to medium high and simmer for 50/60 minutes, skimming of any orange foam, stir occasionally.
  4. While your jam is bubbling away wash your empty jam jars & lids and place in a hot oven for 20 minutes to sterilise.
  5. After 50/60 minutes your jam should be thick, red and looking sticky & delicious once you are happy with the constancy of your jam spoon carefully into your hot sterilised jars & place on the lids.

  6. Once they are completely cold you can add your own labels.

The jam keeps for about 3-4 months in a cool dark place. but I don’t think it ever lasts that long when I make it, everyone has eaten it all after 2 days!
