If the lady with the prickly pear recipe is still out there I'd love to have it as we have them and figs too! For tonight though we'll be having creamy semolina with crushed blackberries - yummy!

Living out in Tenerife, I miss the English seasonal fruits like black berries and have "Higo Picos" instead which are prickly pears which are used here to make Grappa and jam, they taste lovely, if you´d like a recipe posted please let me know! Here at the moment Figs are in season and they are juicy and sweet, you can use them in salads, they go lovely with Parma Ham, just like melon does! Another idea for your jam making is, if you have made huge quantities like I use to , when I made jam in Englnad you can make pretty jam jars and give them for Christmas gifts in home made hampers, people love them and because not only can they taste how sweet the jam is but they get to taste your love that you put into making the jam :) Marylou xxx Mmm, blackberry and apple jam!

I guess I should really learn how to make jam one day! My Mum adds apple in with her Blackberry jam, absolutely gorgeous on a hot muffin with philadelphia cheese.

The bramble and apple jelly I made is lovely though. I like this time of year :) I rather overboiled mine and it’s set VERY hard – still, mixed in with the shedloads of apples I have it is still likely to make nice crumble/pie, rather than used as jam.
