Someone's not getting their 5 a day...

Update:


Bicarb solution definitely nowhere near as efficient as bio-washing powder. Pan was soaked most of yesterday/overnight and, although water has turned black, little has shifted. Am going to give it a chance by adding more bicarb and leaving it for another day. If the remainder of the burnt mess doesn't shift soon, will revert to Ariel to complete the job. Blackberry picking tomorrow = no time to waste!


*adds more bicarb*

You can recover the burn jam by letting it to cold down for one hour removing the burn bits; and then add 50ml of water and a bit of sugar or honey and you can add more hot fruit . You can just try if you would like to keep the jam ; It has work for me a few times.

And for the burn pan Leave it for the night with hot water and a bit of Ajax powder you will get good results

is not a big deal and I would not threw it away. You need to be patient because with my

tips you will see quick results. :)

Yes, it never occurred to me to attempt to "keep the jam"!


Anyway, update. Inspection today reveals that bicarb (in the short term at least) is not up to the job of dealing with 3rd degree burns on bottoms of jam pans. So, it's back to bio-powder today.


Thanks all, for your contributions to date (you too - jokers).

LM - face it, your jam-making days are over. Unless you get a new pan, as suggested by D-C.


Mind you, its been a month since I last made jam. I've definitely not been getting 5 a day ;)


Thankfully the blackberries are still going strong here. Delicious warmed with lemon and sugar pancakes. Have fun picking them today and remember to handle carefully, if too ripe, they can explode in your hand.

    • Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?  
    • Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain. 
    • Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
