I noticed yesterday that Waitrose sell jam jars with screw on lids.
1Lb size £1.50
2lb Size £3.
As a Kid I could get into some flea pit cinemas for a couple of jam
jars. Might soon be the case again at that price.

Surely you could get them full of jam for considerably less than that?

Indeed. Must be top quality. I hope that the lids can be reused.
They looked like the Amazon ones that are 52p each.

Alongside they had packets of jam pot covers that I think were nearly
£4. We bought our covers on-line for £1.99. Newsagents don't seem to
sell them nowadays.

I re-use honey and Bonne Maman jamjars (and screw on metal lids). The
lids can be re-used four or five times (I have people saving them for
me) but the jars last indefinitely.

I have just, for the first time ever, bought some new screw-on lids
(Lakeland) to fit a donated collection of nice matching horseradish jars
whose old lids smelled of it.

Malcolm, if you're reading this, I tried out but abandoned your idea
of a cross-section of orange in the marmalade. When jarred, the cooked
slice was invisible, camouflaged by the rest of the marmalade.

Here's a pic of my attempt http://tinyurl.com/qfxvy2y

The worst thing is that the marmalade is not good :-( Made with organic
Seville oranges from Waitrose and unrefined golden granulated sugar in
the usual 50/50 ratio oranges to sugar. Problem was it doesn't have
that sharp, bitter, make the mouth wake-up taste that my marmalade
usually has - it's almost Orange Jam! I'm honestly thinking of ditching
it so that I can re-use the jars, the thought that the current batch
could be this year's supply of marmalade does not excite me.

peel, I see yours is " slices instead of shredded".

Is it because of the type of sugar do you think? I thought of using
golden or even dark sugar, glad I didn't now :-)

I only made two boobs this year. First, I reached the mainland grocers
shop without checking my recipe, gaily misremembered it as 2 kilos of
oranges per batch, and ended up lugging home, on foot, an armstretching
25lb sack. Twice the amount I needed. Still at least we won't run out of
marmalade this year, and supplied a friend who couldn't find any
Sevilles on the island. The other oops was one batch when I
absentmindedly put a two-sided slicing/grater blade on the FP upside
down and fed two pounds of peels through the grater instead of the
slicer. Resulting in very dense marmalade with no visible shreds. Tastes
all right but looks queer. It'll be okay for steamed marmalade pudding
and marmalade cake.. how about, marmalade trifle, marmalade pavlova...

Yeah - I think Aldi/Lidls cheapest jam is about 29p - so you could buy
it and chuck the jam away (sinful I know - but cost effective) - unless
you can think of a use for loads of cheap jam??

More recently an American girl student collecting aluminum cans on

Yes they do. Our lovely girl died last January aged 17:( We are only just
coming to terms with the loss. We know it is time to get ourselves back to
the Dog's Trust and find another lost soul to love:) It feels so difficult
to replace her and tbh we can't replace her. A new girl will be here for
herself. We have pretty much decided to go and have a wee look next month
when we are sure to be at home. Wish us luck.

One of ours used to go to the cupboard to get a tin of dog food and then
put it at our feet.
The next one when left with friends when we were on holiday towards the
end of the holiday would go to their cupboard and count the tins and
come away with a satisfied look on her face.

Are you going to have Fracking in West Calder as it used to be a shale
area?
No idea. I don't live there, I just know the Trust there.

Where is the dogs trust? Our last one came from Battersea Dogs Home.
West Calder if we are home. Blue came from near Darlington. We were
with work in North Yorkshire at the time
Me and you and a dog named Blue.
Pretty much:)
What is your dog called?
One was Patsy and one was Penny.
Ahh you like wee girls too:)) We will be looking for another one:)
They tend to have phantom pregnancies:-)
Our first one was so sexy that she was expelled from obedience classes
and wrongly accused of being in season.
LOL I haven't heard of that one:))) Our girl was 11 when we got her and
was certainly not interested in any of those shenanigans:) The only two
times I saw her snap, was when dog tried to mount her:)

Btw there are Dog's Trusts all over the place. I just mentioned the
ones we have used. Google and you will find them all:)
We know about West Calder because we took Blue's good stuff there after
she died.

One of ours used to go to the cupboard to get a tin of dog food and
then put it at our feet.
Aww smart dog:)))
Post by John Silver
The next one when left with friends when we were on holiday towards
the end of the holiday would go to their cupboard and count the tins
and come away with a satisfied look on her face.
lol
When I went to collect her on my way home from the airport our friend
knew exactly when we had landed as the dog planked itself down at the
front door at that moment and would not move.
Have you read Rupert Sheldrake's* books on dogs who know when their owners
sre coming home? It is interesting. He quotes trial results which seem to
be statistically significant.

Our last one sat by the door about half an hour before my wife came home
from work but not for me.

I noticed yesterday that Waitrose sell jam jars with screw on lids.
1Lb size £1.50
2lb Size £3.
As a Kid I could get into some flea pit cinemas for a couple of jam jars.
Might soon be the case again at that price.
When I was a kid we used to go 'jam jarring' around the neighbours. We got
ha'pence each at the local pickling/jamming factory. Can't remember now
which is was:)
I give mine to the local WI who fill them with jam and sell them for charity
