Big Bertha, my biggest pan, nearly comes a cropper with the bumper crop of damsons from my inlaw’s damson tree this year.
Molton hot jam, a baby crawling around the kitchen, what can possibly go wrong? It was like the start of Casualty before the ‘accident’ happens.
5 kg of fruit and 4kgs of sugar gave enough to fill 18 jars, two of them large Kilner jars. That’s Christmas sorted.

I actually can’t bear it, I can’t bear those moments. Why would anyone watch that? Anyway, I get your point. You’re clearly an irresponsible father
Oh yes damson jam. Brilliant, and such a fabulous colour. I love the big beasty pot with the splodges on the hob.
