Method

  1. Place all the ingredients in a large stainless steel pan and gently bring to the boil.    Reduce the heat and simmer for 1½ hours until the mixture is jam-like.
  2. Meanwhile prepare the jars.  Wash the glass jars in hot soapy water, rinse and pop in a low preheated oven at 110°C, 90°C Fan, Gas mark 1 for 30 minutes.  Remove from the oven.
