Yesterday I picked half a kilo of rhubarb from our little apple crate veggie garden; today it's jam. It tasted pretty good, now I'm just hoping it sets better than my last attempt at making jam some years ago in Sydney. I haven't made any since, preferring instead to buy what I know is good, like the lovely jams made by locals Maggy and Chris and sold at the monthly Growers and Makers Market in Franklin. My favourite of their jams is the apricot and brandy, with the gooseberry and elderflower a very close second... or is that the raspberry, or the plum or the grapefruit marmelade? All delicious.

Good luck with the jams, I have been in production recently with the lovely Nectarines and Peaches I bought in franklin and Strawberries i bought in Cygnet. I also made Raspberry Jam (from my garden) and Plum Jam also from my garden. I made Rhubarb and Apple last year and need to spruce up the Rhubarb patch a bit so i can make some more. Its just so rewarding isnt it when you have your own jams sitting in the cupboard.
