Used yellow courgettes…looks and tastes great. 4 mins didn't work for me, had to boil for about 20 mins. Thank you very much for the recipe.

Just made the jam, to use up some of the courgettes. Tried the bit left after all the jars were full, very tasty, another excellent recipe on here, well done.

I made this earlier in the year but labelled it as Pineapple Jam as I have some fussy eaters, they love it

Thank you, Val,
I will try the reboiling, if that doesn't work I'll try the pectin. I know it's cold as I did it 2 weeks ago. Thanks for the advice about resterilizing

Did you use jam sugar? If so there should have been enough pectin to give a set. How long have you left it, are the jars fully cool yet? If not, leave overnight and see how it looks in the morning. As a last resort, tip it back out, bring back to the boil and re-test for setting point – if you still have problems add some commercial liquid or dry pectin. If you do this, don't forget to thoroughly wash and re-sterilise the jars.

Please what do I do with 6 pots of unset jam Should I boil it again? If so, for how long? Should I add pectin? If so how much? I followed the recipe very carefully.

very nice needs more than 4 mins boiling but a very fruity and tangy jam 9 out of 10

Hello to all,
I made this jam on the 19 August. It was delicious. On the 21st August it was entered in the allotment society show and came second……My first win and the first time I'd entered antyhing into a show. I've made jam tarts with the little bit that was left, ready for my friends who are coming for lunch tomorrow.
Thanks for a lovely recipe.
I will be back again,
Regards Wendy

I was a bit confused by two points with this recipe….
a) the combination of ingredients and,
b) the cooking time of only 4 minutes (from when starting to boil). Where was the reduction in quantity, and where was the "back of the spoon test"?

Need not have bothered.

Absolutely terrific. Another addition to the "use up the courgette recipe list".
