I had loads of jam disasters until I started using jam sugar, which has pectin in it.

I'm even worse when it comes to making bread, so I'm off to have a look at the recipe as I DO like the sound of no knead bread!<br />De-cluttering is an awkward one here as my hubs is a huge hoarder of things and me not so much! Luckily we compromise and lots of things get put in cupboards and stylish boxes, so kept but out of sight! xRustic Vintage Countryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17707515487917612909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6521696651740670160.post-8785031235481438392013-07-01T22:02:01.308+12:002013-07-01T22:02:01.308+12:00That soup and bread look so yum and I've just ...That soup and bread look so yum and I've just eaten dinner!

I have found that you can either cook it a bit more, or add apple juice to too thick jam to make it right.<br /><br />Isn't de-cluttering wonderful?! I walk around the house just looking at everything after a good clean out, and admiring my handiwork. Your new spaces look lovely. It's nice to change things up. xxChristina Lowryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18370046598325657449noreply@blogger.com
