Go to David Jones. There will be myriad choices for you, including Hanks.

Haha! Yes, I most certainly have had jam. In fact, I cleaned out the fridge today and found what was once a lovely plum jam. Not so much any more… I had to have a lie down after that effort. I think I will try the Old English once this jar is done (I even had some for dessert tonight!).

I don’t mind Roses, the old english is a bit tarter which I don’t mind. I am anti-rind so I spread it on without it, which can piss people off when they get to the end of the jar as there is just a pile of rind in there…..

Two cm thick is a bit excessive, but you would put the same amount that you put jam on. You have had jam haven’t you.

Thanks, Brent. I’ll definitely try a number of different styles – pity the farmers’ market isn’t on again until January… Perhaps DJs will have some options to tempt me.

It might be a while before I follow the 2cm thick advice, though!

Good choice. Glad it was a better experience than the Jŏcalat.

“Is Rose’s typical of the style?” – all I know is that it’s better than the mass-produced junk.

“The marmalade I bought is “fine cut”. Should I be going chunky, or whatever is not “fine cut”?” – The chunky stuff always seems more home-made and cottag-ey to me.

“How thickly do you spread it?” – as thick as jam! Like 2 cm thick!!!
