The Lighter Side / Re: World War Two. Plum Jam From Taunton, Somerset
« on: Friday 21 February 20 08:22 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you. I only by chance noticed that this thread has been picked again. I did spend sometime looking at war time recipes. I made some plum jam as Christmas presents.  Unfortunately my uncle has been unwell so I have yet to receive the verdict!

The website of Leicestershire Records Office mentions Bastardy Bonds. Although it is not possible to see actual names. Might be worth a email or phone call.

The combination of apples and pears would give it a very distinctive flavour. Thank you.

Thank you Mike. I have also wondered if it was the homemade taste that made the difference. As they came from the centre of Portsmouth I suspect they had only tasted processed jam until then.

Thank you. That is a great help. I will look at the mixed fruit option. I suspect that the jam was made up of whatever was available. As you point out plums probably made up a significant amount of the mixed fruit. I will ask about the stones.
