Making Royal Jam Fit For A King - Doing It Ourselves

[@jb3558]

I'm absolutely stunned as to the level of knowledge you have Michael. I joined The Pethericks just before Billy bought the Convent and so have been watching everything - but as I see your input, you are by far my favourite 'character' in the real life 'Soap' and as such I have been finding your chanel with past videos for a quality of entertainment that is really not matched at all on terrestrial TV. Thank you for all the interesting videos - and for sharing. your skills, knowledge and personality.

Consistency is better than perfection.

[@MarcosDavidOfficial]

I agree. We miss him.

[@tc7486]

It’s so warm and cozy being in the kitchen of the cottage. You have it looking like it’s always been that way. It’s just a piece of art. The warmth of the wood, the wall color, all the copper and of course the icing on the cake, the blue & white dishes!!! I can feel the warmth of the stove and smell the jam all the way to the USA! Please include some of the cottage in every video. Can’t wait for the stairs to go in. ❤️

[@bettyebell2835]

Wow! The chateau is beautiful lit up at night. You must enjoy the late evenings to work as do I. Your jam will be so good. Thanks for filming your jam making session. I have never made any jams or jellies so it was a very informative session for me. Thanks, Michael 😊

Outstanding intro Michael!! I see great potential for a series if children’s story books. Bertie’s Adventures at a French Chateau? Food for thought. Your photography, sound, musical scoring, content and editing skills are superior. Andrew is doing a fantastic job, congratulations to both of you. The jam looks and sounds delicious. Thanks🙏🏻❤️

[@alantorrance6153]

In New Zealand the general practice for sealing jam jars (pots of about 450gm) that have round lips, is to use thin cellophane sheets held in place with rubber bands, either that or re-use commercial jam jars that have screw tops. I use the latter, but with the addition of a sheet of cellophane to assist sealing, and to help keep the jam "clean" from possible contamination from the old lids. Mind you the jars are washed, then heated in the oven at about 130 deg celcius, and the lids washed and then boiled.

[@denisebugler5761]

Micheal. So missing your vlogs. Hope you put something up soon.

[@mspatti]

I have binge watched your content in the past two weeks and always thought I knew you, and couldn't say why. It just came to me, you look like Justin Timberlake, like a twin. You have great performance skills. You really do present yourself and edit beautifully. This episode has been so ejoyable.

[@nomebear]

Such a fun thing to do. Delicious jam made in a fun atmosphere.

[@kasisatya5448]

If you are serious about writing that cookbook personally I think that is a fabulous idea. You might consider making a few watercolor paintings of your cottage, garden, kitchen within the cookbook, and perhaps a few pictures of yourself also included. Create the book and put it on your vlog and put it for sale, people can download it - just like that artist friend of Stephanies has done with her art that one can purchase and download. I think you could have yourself a little gold mind. Its really a pleasure to see how far you have come in that last month(s), continued good fortune to you.

You can also put the skins from the vanilla in a pot with sugar and make your own vanilla sugar! Also apples have a lot of pectin so you can also add an apple to your jam 👍🏻

Crab apple juice also contains high levels of pectin. Put the crab apples in a pan and just cover with water. Bring to the boil and simmer for an hour or so. I mash them with a potato masher to really break them up. Strain through muslin or similar for several hours. Discard the mush. Add the juice to soft fruit to help it set or add sugar and make crab apple jelly. I make small quantities in my Le Creuset casserole.

I think anybody who has done work in their home over a number of months would be burned out by it so glad to see you taking a break and getting back to your other interests of late. Suggestion, any of these long life items you make you should get a small hamper together and give it away to a subscriber or Patreon at Christmas. Maybe an original water colour in there as well.

[@QueenBee-xd1xk]

This was fab to watch. Enjoying while reclining in bed at 2 o'clock in the morning. When you put the spoon in the jam to taste I yell "oh no dont do that. " I was sure you were going to burn your mouth. How did you pull that off. You are fun to watch. Never a dull moment. Isabelle would be impressed. Top this Stephanie and Isabelle. You are the best hand washer ever. You are excellent teaching jam preservation. I am making mixed berry jam at the weeks end. I have never made victoria sponge cake. Is it like Angel food cake in America. I like a not so sweet berry coulis with my cakes. How about you. Splendid fun watching you create in the kitchen.

I always put a wire rack( cake cooling) on my pan, then I put the jars and lids on the rack. I sterilize the jars with boiling water, let them sit until I am ready to fill then pour the water out. If it spills it goes into the tray. Sometimes I use my big canning water bath pot to sterilize jars. I use either silicone oven gloves or my jar lifter to empty the full hot jars. Enjoy that jam, It sounds very extravagant and delicious.

Oh Michael this looks amazing! What a fun project. My mother made grape jelly, she had us down in the woods foraging for wild Concord grapes when we were children. Then we sat on the back porch to clean off all the sticks and leaves, of course we were eating the grapes as we went along. Then a zillion seeds and thick skins had to be filtered out. She saved little jars all year for this endeavor, most didn’t have lids so she sealed the jelly with hot wax. We had a shelf in the cellar for the jelly and if you came for a visit you might get one as a gift! I had forgotten all of this so thank you for brawl these warm memories back. Your jam looks like a much more manageable start for me.🥂
