MARROW & GINGER JAM.
6lb Marrow peeled, de-seeded & diced (1×1inch cubes).
6lb Jam sugar.
4 lemons, zested & juiced.

1. Place all diced marrow into large bowl then add & mix in all the sugar, cover & place in fridge over night.
2. Put marrow & sugar mix into a preserving pan. Add lemon zest & juice & mix.
3. Tie the bruised ginger root in to a muslin/cheese cloth bag, and add to pot.
