Its pretty variable (you can use most fruit, and as its strained you don't need to be too fussy about preparing them thankfully):


2kg fruit

100ml water (for blackberries/soft fruit - use 600ml for blackcurrants, apples, hard fruit - 300ml for plums/stone fruit).


Bring slowly to boil, and mush with wooden spoon or potato masher, cook gently till juices are flowing (may take up to 45 mins depending on type of fruit, but fast for blackberries).


Strain juice through one of your babies handy muslin cloths (although even I try and make it a clean one lol) or a fine tea towel which you have scalded (immersed in boiling water).


Measure juice in a jug. For every 1 litre add 700g sugar (or to taste - sorry about teeth rotting!). Heat to dissolve sugar then pour into sterilised bottles, leaving a 1cm gap for expansion. I also freeze it in plastic milk bottles. It lasts ages in the fridge though.



Try it with half apple and half blackberries (saves you picking so many!) - no need to core & peel them, just chuck them in, or plums, damsons, currents, rhubarb etc.

    • I completely agree with you, Angelina. But it's worth noting that no one else has a problem with her, or finds her rude /  has mentioned her aggressively banging gates / ringing doorbells etc. 
    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
