let the strawbs stand in the sugar overnight it draws the juice from the strawbs and makes them "hold up" better in the jam.....ie: less mushy strawbs!/quote]That will be why my old recipe book tell me to do that then ;D Well went out to a few places today couldn't find wax disk's anywhere haven't got any of the shops you all mentioned. So went home slightly diffused then suddenly thought of a shop near home one of those bits and bobs shops never been in before. Had a look around couldn't see any but thought i would ask. Hurray they had some a nice 24 pk with the disks cellophane labels and bands in only £1.50 bargain. Plenty too so they have a very happy customer i also found out they sell greenhouse glass so will be popping back down tomorrow to replace my broken pane £2 for the size i need. :oOnly thing is i forgot the lemon to add to the jam :( question is can i use jiff lemon? I have some left from pancake day!if not out to the shops i go getting very excited now. hope it tastes as nice as it smells.Lucy
