Jam help

Do any of you have any good recipes for making jam? I have made plum jam and blackberry jam in the past but not made any for about 3/4 years now. Any recipes you have tried and tested yourselves would be great, especially ones including apple as we have an apple tree, but other fruit too.
Thanks

 

Ok GTTkel
Heres one we like and are producing as the crop comes in from our one apple tree.

You need:
Bags of frozen fruit of you choice. I like mixed berries.
Apples from your tree
Granulated white sugar
lemon juice.
Quantities i use for my jam machine are
25% frozen berry Fruit
75% apples
For me thats 250gram berry fruit and 750gram of apple, thats makes 1Kg
Peel, chop apples
add fruit and apples to your pan with a good dash of lemon juice.
Cook it all down a bit until nice and soft, and then add 1Kg of sugar.
Go to a rolling boil until setting point is reached.
I use a small plate in the freezer to make it cold.
A little jam on the plate now and agian will tell you when it is ready.
If you push the little dollop with your finger end and it wrinkles the jam is ready.
If you have a load of scum on top try a little butter on the surface of the jam to remove it.
yummy
Take your clean warmed jars from the oven and fill to the top. Put your wax disc on top and seal with a screw cap.
The above will make about 4 jars. usually three large and one small.
enjoy
