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.

    • Copleston centre hire for adult parties 
    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
