Less sugar can be used if you wish but remember to check the set.
Thank you

Lovely!

if you use jam sugar there is no need for the lemons.

thank you
Good recipe but misses a few things for the clueless

Great jam! I made half of the quantities and I must say I would still have halfed the quantity of the sugar or maybe is it because I waited too long for the so called "setting point" (1,5 hour). So for those clueless like me the setting point is when the sample hardens a few minutes after you scooped a tsp onto a plate.
Also, (and that is for the lazy ones) I tried to sieve the jam to make it smooth but when I saw how long this was going to take and much quantity I was going to loose I decided to stop and blend it instead. Works wonders!
Enjoy!
Less Water Needed

The recipe doesn't need 1/4 pint of water as when you add the sugar this brings all the juice out of the fruit too so the jam was rather runny.
