@jackie:
hi jackie damson cheese is so called because it has the consistancy of a soft cheese and can be eaten with cold meats etc, as well as a jam.
when tipped out of the jar it is usually sliced like a cheese
hope this helps

I cannot wait to try this recipe, the only thing is why is it called Damon cheese. Am I missing something as I cannot see any record of cheese going in.

A friend gave me a jar of Damson cheese at christmas, so it got put in the cupboard (like you do when not sure) anyways tried it the other week absolutely gorgeous, I am now addicted, that with some Wensleydale cheese, is brill. So I decided to have a bash myself, that is how I found this site. I have just potted some up (can't wait for it to cool). Only fault I found with the recipe , NOwhere does it tell you that you will need a thick sticking plaster for the blister on your 2nd finger from continual stirring for 2hrs. But it was worth it.
The next time I make it I will know how thick you mean when you say THICK. I kept going till it had reduced by roughly half, and like you said I could see the bottom of the pan when I pulled the wooden spoon accross it.
Thanks for the recipe, off to try some more.

They should be stored in a fridge and will keep for about a month.

Hi – I'm want to try making this as we have had it before. How long will the cheese keep for and where is best to store it? Many thanks.
