Treat yourselves to a stainless steel jam funnel, if not already got one makes filling jars soooo much easier with no mess & much safer, I use a large ladle to transfer hot jam from pan to funnel!!! Try it, an item I can't manage without!

As long as you need to keep it really, as long as the lids are on tight then it will last longer

@hayley:I sometimes add a few strawberries to rasp jam as you did, not sure why set too hard, maybe boiled for too long? after setting point reached.

@Nadine:make small batches of raspberry jam,use fresh or frozen fruit. Stew fruit very gently til soft, add ord.gran sugar (1lb to 1lb) take off heat & stir til sugar dissolved. Gradually bring to rolling boil for 5 mins. (do not stir when boiling) same for loganberry. I store these few pots in fridge, (wax discs & cellophane) keep for ages, when gone make more from frozen fruit. These fruits high in pectin, jam always sets, don't even bother to test for set.
