One Jar of any berry Fruit Jam

  • Ensure that no company trade-marks are visible on any jars.
  • Lids should be brand new, re-used lids may taint the product.
  • Fill jars so that as much air is displaced as possible. This helps to preserve the jam for longer.

One Jar of Fruit Jelly

  • A fruit jelly should be clear, containing no fruit solids.
  • Polish your jar to make it as bright as possible when staging.
  • A fruit jelly should wobble.

One Jar of Fruit Marmalade

  • Keep the shred size uniform.

A Jar of Chutney

  • Chutney should be well ‘cooked down’. A relish has ingredients that are only half cooked.
  • Please state if the chutney is ‘hot’ or contains a strong flavour.
  • If you are trying to achieve an unusual flavour then let the judge know by displaying the ingredient.
