Don't bother with a jam themom-ibob stick a plate in the fridge and drop a blob on it when the jam starts too thicken leave it for a minute then push it with your finger if it wrinkles its about done. <br />So glad the mallards are sticking around.<br /><br />xxJesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12714465956677938724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2353497591349986008.post-18066859495674094552009-09-02T13:26:44.034+01:002009-09-02T13:26:44.034+01:00Do you think blackberry jam would survive the roya...Do you think blackberry jam would survive the royal mail treatment?
