I hope it's okay to join you. I'm pretty new to trying to preserve anything. I had a go at jam a few years back with only moderate success but then nothing after that until this Christmas. Times being what they are I was looking to make some more personal gifts rather than going down the 'expensive' line and so came my first attempts at vanilla essence and an apple and cranberry chutney. I don't have pictures at the moment - but could post one of the jars that were left and are now sitting in my cupboard if people wanted.
I'm hoping that by joining you I'll be able to get some ideas for future projects and also tips to avoid disasters - jam like glass or too runny to stay on the toast! I'm also willing to share any recipes that I have got to work *grin* like the chutney - which is pretty good with bread and cheese (even if I am saying so myself ;P)
