Anyone know how to make jam? I've never done it before. This should be interesting.  |

one that confused me for a while was 'I shouldn't be left out'. I was wondering who all these so called friends were leaving you out on your own pissed up in the middle of the night. Eventually realised left=allowed.

Good one! I'd forgotten that one. Well, truth be told, I've forgotten most of the phrases that cause confusion because they're 'normal' to me.
Right so, I'll try to keep a list of 'Laxie Lingo' going and add to it as you lot mention them.
1) "I shouldn't be left out" - left = allowed (Irish)

would be interesting to know which of the odd phrases are American and which are Irish too.
I've never made jam either btw - isn't it just a matter of heating up a load of fruit and sugar then sticking it in a jar?

Pectin? PECTIN?! Huh? Fruit, water & sugar were the plan. Now you've gone and confused the issue with pectin FFS. |

If you want to use all the available space in the jar then make sure that the jam is really pectin. Yeah, I know it doesn't really scan but bite me. |

YEAH BABY!!! Back of the net. 3 pointer. Touchdown. And bases loaded home run!!!
Turns out I know how to make jam now. Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Yes, that's right Ladies and Gents. She took on the berries. She cooked the kageebees outta them with just the right amount of water and sugar. She ran the 'set test' by placing a small amount on a saucer. And I can confirm said jam did in fact set! I know, I know. Hard to believe. But trust me...it did in fact happen.
Just wish I'd thought of gathering and sterilising jam jars BEFORE I went at it. Now I've to wait a few for the begged, borrowed and stolen jars to finish cleaning. Sigh.
