    oooh yes Trill! I have some cross stitch patterns for the tops of jams too! They are definitely a "must do" at some stage... but only for friends/family who appreciate the work that goes into it...and who might end up framing them Or turning them into coasters (you can buy nice wooden ones with glass to protect the needlework). Is that a bit un-generous of me? LOL

    No not at all LOL, I would be loathe to do all that for someone who would just toss it when they are finished with it too.

    Ooh thank you for this thread Bath! Says she the original setting-challenged marmalade maker!
    What are your fave flavours? So far I think the ruby grapefruit and rose petal is my favourite. It sets reasonably well too because grapefruit have a lot of pith.

    Now there is a good point -where can I get jars from? I don't use many jars to begin with, so don't get empty ones often and nobody to save them for me...can you buy small jam jars online or something?

    I want to do some preserved fruits...

    Hey Alexis

    Don't know if you are heading to perth anytime soon, but I have bought some jars from a company called Plasdene (they are in canning vale).

    I got mine at a catering supplies shop. They were about $1.30 each from memory.
