all bought recently from whitechapel market, east london

 

i wasn't happy with yesterday's effort at making persimmon jam/sauce. it tasted ok but it was too thick, more like stewed fruit than a jam/sauce flic.kr/p/2rL7wX3

i recooked the jam/sauce with extra water and lemon juice

brought to the boil

added some more sugar

allowed to 'rolling boil' until satisfied with the result

decanted into jar

result much happier :)
