I love this video, it is so important to carry on traditional recipes like this! My great grandma always used to preserve fruit, and I really want to give it a try as well this summer!
Definitely going to need to try this. Have been wanting to try my hands at canning/jarring, but never really got around to it or knew how to do it properly. Thanks for the video!
@@Artemesia_ Thank you but it doesn't explain why it still preserves the fruit with so little sugar when the scientific advice for jam is that the sugar has to be in equal quantities to the fruit in order to maintain a long shelf life and exclude mould.
@@Artemesia_ Ah right - I thought so. You are not making jam in the traditional British method. Thanks but we don't use "special pectin" here in the UK and we don't rely on water bathing. We learn all about the actual natural pectin and acid content of fruit and using the natural preservative of sugar combine to create a jam that has been made and enjoyed for hundreds of years. Low or no sugar preserves are not jams - they are fruit spreads.
I take it Brits dont use the Ball canning guidelines lol. But hey, theyve been preserving food for thousands of years before america existed, so carry on.
No headspace? Or sterilizing jars and lids? Also those glass jars are not meant for canning. And do not tighten lids after canning; it can cause seal failure.
yep, i've seen TONS of videos from all across the pond with no headspace and sterilize everything in the water bath and reuse any and all jars including coke bottles ;) they had a head start on us too.
Those glass jars are what we have used in the UK forever, they are the only ones we can get over here for bottling!! Watched some US Videos and came to the conclusion that US guidelines are way over the top and a money making scheme. We have never had any issues and have been using Pam's method for many years.
This music is part of what makes River Cottage is special to me- wonderful gentle folk music, the same band has done versions of Christmas tunes for their seasonal specials, I love it. But hey, different strokes for different folks etc!
It is Wonderful of you to teach us how to do all this. Thank You.

This is so easy! I can't believe more people don't do this!
This worked perfectly! Looking forward to a winter treat.

how does steam escape from a clip jar? Is it that with those types of jars, the glass is typically thicker and can withstand the pressure?
Love Pam the jam!!!
What would you use the canned raspberries for? Ice cream? Add to a mixed drink? Thx.
Ice cream !! It’s delicious 😋
Does the boiling cook out the alcohol? If so, it might be nice to try to add some of that "special" flavor, but still be alcohol-free.
Do you have to use a sugar solution or can you just use water to cover the fruit?
She answered that I the video
I understand you can use screw top jars. Do you need to loosen jar lid when water bathing and if so will it let in the pan water?
No headspace? most of these fruits aren't high enough in acid to keep very long with just the water bath method
Alcohol and sugar preserves the fruit
Simply beautiful 🤩
Also why is so little sugar...if any suggested to preserve the fruit in bottling but in jam its equal measure sugar to fruit - thanks.

I think u forgot to shake the air bubbles out after u poured the water over the raspberries.

I had the same thought.
I wonder what the reason is for headspace in the jar, and why she packs it to the top.

We assume most people with a degree of intelligence will know to sterilise jars and lids .
She sounds so posh lol
Yes she does. I love the accent
She probably is coming from an aristocratic background, like Hugh is. Clearly different in style compared to a person like Jamie Oliver.
Not posh just nice and how English should be spoken. Sadly not so much these days since ' Estuary ' English became popular.
Very annoying music!!
