Preserving Recipes
I a addicted to preseving foods to make them last longer. In fact my nickname is pickles owing to the amount that I love eating pickles! Try my Confit Mushrooms, Tomato Relish Chutney or Preserved Lemons Recipe. I've also got Candied Jalapenos and Mulled Wine Figs too! Preserving definitely isn't boring!
I've never made jam before but I've eaten plenty of it and somehow this has deluded me into thinking that I can actually give this a go. The recipe from Sean Moran's Let It Simmer (he of Sean's Panorama restaurant in Bondi). White seedless grapes are a great buy now and he specifies using thick skinned, early season grapes that have just ripened as they have more pectin to help them set. However he does warn that a batch is usually quite runny, making more of an appearance as an ice cream sauce than a jam. Grapes don't have much pectin in them so you can either add some in or leave it liquidey (and believe, me, it is rather liquidey).
