I also use the upside down method.   It mostly works.    Some jars allow the contents to seep out when tightened and turned upside down.   I use jars that have that little white rubber ring in the lid.  Maggie Beer also uses this method,   she doesn't sterilize the jars.   I sterilize mine in the microwave.
Relish and Sauce that have vinegar in should keep well when you use the upside down method. Jam too. My sister swears by it and she makes litres and litres of jams, chutneys, sauces and relishes!

That's fine. Did you use the one called 'Nan's fruit mince" that has cider and apples in it?  If so that is mine. We love it-no fat.
     Yes Cookie, it was terrific.    It was a bit runny when I had finished cooking it,  but thickened up in the fridge over night.It made about 1 k.  which was good for Andi's recipe which called for 800g.    I froze the remainder.  Thanks again.

I've found you can also reheat the mashed potato in the microwave.   Just stir in a little more milk.

Please give it a go.   Sorry if this sounds like self promotion,  But I have just sold a T.M on the basis of this recipe alone.

JD to the rescue again!   Looks like I should be thanking Gert and not Cookie for the delicious fruit mince recipe.    I'm sure Gert wouldn't mind including Cookie in the 'marriage made in heaven' with Andi.   Thanks Gert.

Jams and Chutneys / Re: Apricot Jam

Made the Apricot jam,   beautiful flavor.   Used 3/4 amount of sug. and cooked for a further 10 mins. on varoma.  Still not thick enough for us so next time will add 1/2 packet of jamsetta.  So easy

Cookie, how do you go making bread in a hot climate?    I was wondering if I might have a go at developing the American ftidge bread for people in hot climates.   It uses yeast and has only one rise after taking it out of the fridge,also you can keep it in the fridge for 2 weeks.

Could you reduce the sugar with the dates, or leave it out altogether?
     Yes or /and add some lemon juice.

Go for it cookie, its such good fun.    If you end up with too much starter make the 5 day bread which uses 2 cups.

Looks very good, do you add other grains?    How do you test the internal temp?
