My jam and marmalade goes missing most Mondays.
The cleaners always put it in the fridge.
Does anybody else keep their jam and marmalade there?

But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.
And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.

Yes…kept jams and marmalades in fridge for years. The old days..of both keeping for 12 months…are long gone.
All too easy than to grow a small green lawn….yuk. Sorry if you are eating…

My jam and marmalade never last long enough to grow a lawn! Seriously though, my jam and marmalade is always made in Essex from the best fruit and sugar only.
Didn’t jam used to have a little greaseproof paper circle under the lid, which you used to replace after you’d had your spoonfull?

Most modern jams and marmalades lack the preservatives which many had at one point, and they are a much softer set so they have been boiled to a lower temperature. I never used to keep them in the fridge, but do now – I don’t eat much of it, so lasts a while

I do, occasionally, still make my own jams. Have an ace notebook of recipes from my Gran….but hardly worth bothering for just the kitty and myself…(she likes strawberry….and damson….). Worth searching out Jills Jams of Cumbria….

The most unusual thing, I’ve seen in this area of London, was a jar of kosher honey from Stamford Hill. It was a seasonal present from a rabbi to his Australian physio.
