@nethertonfoundry.bsky.socialReposted by @neilbuttery.bsky.socialAs we approach the end of the plum season & need to use up a bowl of pears before they go soft, we've made jam.
This was the first use of our compact copper jam pan & it proved its worth for small batch cooking; 4 jars of chunky plum and pear jam.
