The Vine Preserver's Year 2012

[GardenFaery]

About 10 jars of plum jam from the plums on my tree. The best jam to make if you haven't got any pectin as it doesn't need it. I'm not sure how long I can keep this though, as while it sits around on my kitchen dresser looking pretty and is in airtight jars - don't really know what the 'sell by' date should be lol

Should keep for 12 months but that's stored in a cool dark place .........

[Scarlet]

12 Jars of Rhubarb & Vanilla Jam

Preserves are supposed to last years, don't know the exact time for jam but Chutney lasts 6 years I am told.
