Damson Jam

[sloggue]

Does anyone have a quick and easy recipe for Damson Jam, or indeed any other Damson recipe. I've got about 10 Kgs to get through!

This recipe is from a cookery book by Marguerite Patten.

1lb Damsons, 4 tablespoons water if fruit is ripe, 1lb sugar.

If fruit is under- ripe- 1lb Damsons, half pint of water, 1.25lbs sugar.

Put fruit and water in pan.   Simmer until soft.  Add sugar, stir until dissolved then boil rapidly until set.  Ladle into warm jars and cover.

Very nice with scones and cream.
