English Translation

Ingredients:

1.4Kg rowan berries
2 large chopped apples (do not peel or core)
sugar (500g sugar per 600ml juice)

Method:

Put the berries and the chopped but not peeled or cored apples into a large saucepan. Cover with water and boil for 40 minutes. Drain through muslin and let it drip overnight.

Then boil up the liquid allowing 500g sugar for every pint (600ml) of juice. Boil fairly fast for about 1 hour.

Test to see if setting point has been reached by placing a small drop of the jam onto the chilled saucer. Push your finger through the jelly and if the surface wrinkles, it’s done. If not continue cooking for a further 2-3 minutes a test again

Pot up into clean, sterilised jars seal securely with a lid and label.
