Have you been out foraging blackcurrants? We've got the recipe for you. This jam is a gamechanger- the tartness of the blackcurrants together with the sloe gin gives this jam a really rich and tasty flavour. Don't worry if you haven't got the right weight of berries, if you use 1.2 times the weight of the fruit in sugar, and 0.6 times the weight of the fruit in water. To give you an idea, we made 4 jars of jam using 675g fruit and this is the recipe.

Now we're all raspberry jam fans, but imagine adding prosecco into the mix. This seeded raspberry jam is made using Silver Spoon Jam Sugar.

This would be the perfect recipe to make ahead and give out as presents to loved ones and just to have in your own cupboard for a breakfast treat! &nbsp;
