Yes, we've been at it again, only today John was chief jam maker. I went out after lunch picking figs, almonds, lemons and peaches, and while I prepared the peaches for the freezer, made lemonade to drink and separated the husks from the almonds, John made black fig jam.
2 kilos of figs, halved and simmered. Whizzed with the hand blender to get rid of the lumps - he doesn't like lumps in his jam - added 1 kilo of sugar and simmered till setting point. We added a few spoonfuls of the lemon juice to take the edge off the sweetness and now have another 8 jars of jam.
Tomorrow? Well, probably not more jam as there's only so much shelf space! But I'm sure something will be made....
