But I think that might be because I was trying to do a rolling boil as I have done before with jam making. Next time I'm going to keep it a bit more sedate! @Cathie:

I took it off the heat and put it in jars and it seems to have set well enough without getting anywhere near 105 degrees. Has anyone else had this problem?

(my sister gave me a huge marrow a few weeks back) Lovely easy recipe, set really well. Mouth watering thinking of the first taste, & it smells great. I didn't put the ginger in muslin just finely shredded and straight in with the rest of ingredients. My mum always used to make this flavour jam in the 50's, was always my favourite, she didn't think she put apples in tho' so will try it without as well.

I followed it to the letter, and the result is brilliant! Thanks Val and to this website which is so encouraging. Now for the other 8 marrows I've had from the past few weeks!

I could not find my steamer so cooked marrow and apples in microwave till soft and mushy. It worked really well and tastes wonderfull. Grandchildren coming for the weekend so taste tests tomorrow.Think I will tell them it's apple and ginger and not mention marrow. Thanks for this great recipe.

It is very useful to use up those courgettes which have become marrows following a holiday! I used ginger from a tube which mixed with the marrow and apples very successfully.

Any suggestions will be welcomed.

I grate the ginger into the mix and leave it in. It is absolutely fantastic with curry - a bit like mango chutney. I have made my second batch because the first went down so well.
