"Have made this recipe time and time again, with various fruit depending on the time of year. My dad is the biggest fan of the peach melba variety."

"I enjoyed these but they weren't a big hit with the rest of the family. I am guessing it was the fault of the refined beans I used, they were very mushy and the kids weren't keen on the texture as a result. I will try again with another make of beans, and half the mixture as there is enough to feed a small army if you don't freeze any."

"Beautiful - I've made it a few times now and its been a real hit with the whole family. Like others I have ajusted the cooking time, it does take longer than suggested, but well worth it!"

"I am making my second batch of this jam today - it was such a success! I did let it cook for longer than suggested, until I thought it was thick enough. As someone else mentioned, the initial smell while you are cooking it is quite offputting, my husband was very reluctant to taste is as he was put off by the cooking aroma - but once persuaded, has a little with almost every meal if he can! Have passed this on to lots of friends and family."
