Jam making

My friend Pete invited me brambling or blackberrying with him today. We went down by the river and picked a load of blackberries. I got stung and cut and had to disturb a few spiders but I came back with around 300g of fruit! 


I decided to make apple and blackberry jam. Below you can see the blackberries being heated in a pan. 


Here's a picture of the actual jam bubbling away. I think I'm getting the hang of jam making, after making marmalade and chilli jam this year. 


I ended up with 4 jars with free blackberries and £1 worth of cooking apples and £1.50 for sugar. What a bargain!

Cor, you did all this stuff! My dad just ate them on his cereal, because I didn't get round to making them into anything.
