Making jam

I am 'chicken sitting' for our neighbours. They have lots of ripe blackcurrants and said I could help myself so I picked just over a pound of fruit today and used it to make four jars of jam. It's the first time I've made this variety and took care to simmer the fruit gently for a good thirty minutes so it was really soft before boiling it for a set, which happened in only five minutes after the sugar had fully dissolved. I made a sponge to fill with the jam and cream .... mmmm.
