First preserves of 2013

The first fruit processing of 2013... medlar jelly! Really it should have been done in 2012 but we weren't at our French home at all at the end of the year - so by the time we got here in January the fruits were more than just "bletted" - some were dried out and useless. However enough remained for a good quantity of jelly - needed a visit to Emmaus to search out jamjars before this lot could be processed. Jamie Oliver's recipe was used (http://www.jamieoliver.com/magazine/blogs.php?title=medlar-jelly-recipe) - with the addition of a little pectin towards the end. Even with the pectin added the jelly is too runny for my liking - though the spills when bottling set hard enough! It will be fine for cooking though - should be good in sauces.
