Today's preserving report: Lots of mixed berry jam made. I'm not sure at this point if it is going to set well enough, so it may be reclassified as mixed berry sauce before labelling. I ended up not doing the grilled vegetables and made 16 serves of overnight oats for the freezer instead, full of lots of yummy summer fruits.

I sometimes reboil jam the next day and use a cheat, I add will add some jamsetta. Of course that means recleaning all the jars again, which is a pain.

I am always happy to have some that doesn't set, I have plenty of things I will use it for. It is much less stress to just let the fruit decide what it wants to be and go with it ๐Ÿคฃ

very much not a failure, just different. yummy with vanilla icecream and pancakes

Absolutely. I also make my own yoghurt and use it as flavouring for that, it's also good for swirling though cake or muffin batter.

It sounds like it could be delicious on the oats too

I misread that as "delicious on the cats" and was quite perplexed for a while. Oats sounds a much better option. Damn these old eyeballs!
