Put the pan over to gently heat and bring to the boil. # Remove the scum that comes to the surface with a spoon. Reduce the jam until it becomes quite thick, then pour it into a bowl and allow to cool. Refrigerate until needed. This recipe is great for using up soft fruit past it’s best, but not when it’s gone so far that it has reached the mouldy stage – at this point the compost is the best place for them! This fruit jam is more like a compote than a normal jam and needs to be eaten within a few days. It's quick to make and is lovely served with scones, on toast, mixed into yogurt or spooned onto ice cream. false true false false false true false false true 3.01216333622936576889661164205039 4604 13868.0 1 false approved caroline@lovefoodhatewaste.com 4e252ad5adf7e232 2 false Banbury Caroline Marson
