What an exciting thread(!) Looks like you have this wrapped up. Bet it will taste divine. :)-D

[Huguenot]

LM's jam pan is the source of much divinity....

[Loz]

... and the scorching of many plums ...

[maxxi]

...and a caramelised bottom that just needed a bloody good scraping.

*waits in queue with own spatula*

[Laddy Muck]

Good Lord!

Damn good thing you pulled it out at the last minute, LM.

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

[Salsaboy]

How many plums make a handful then?

[Laddy Muck]

Depends on the size of the hand I guess.

Or said plums...

[red devil]

Two constitutes a handful SB...

[Loz]

But how many constitute a mouthful? :))

[maxxi]

Really Red? You sure you don't mean...

...:) best not to fall asleep in the bath

[Salsaboy]

Or leave them on the cooker too long.

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. :)

[Huguenot]

There you go LM, a few tips and you'll get 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).

[katie1997]

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.
