Damson Jelly step by step
- Wash fruit and remove any stalks and leaves.
- Put damsons, squeezed lemon juice and water in large saucepan and bring to the boil. Cover and simmer for 40 minutes..

- My jelly bag is threaded onto 2 wooden spoons balanced on an upsidedown stool. I am sure there are better ways but this works..
- I left it overnight to get every last drop of juice..
- Measure the volume of juice and using jam sugar without pectin, weigh 500gm to a pint of juice.
- Put juice and sugar into a large pan over heat and stir to dissolve sugar. Boil rapidly to setting point but take care.... the volume increases and it would be very messy if it boiled over..
- The jelly is ready when a splodge of the fruit and sugar skins over when put on a saucer in the fridge. This photo is not much help I'm afraid..
- Pour the lovely liquid jelly into clean jars and label them. And taste the rich sweet jelly..
