"Yummy recipe. My tip would be to press the base up the sides of the tin slightly so that the jam doesn't burn when it touches the tin. Or you could make sure you don't spread the jam right to the edges."

"Came out very sweet, probably to do with the type of jam I used. Still looking for a version of this recipe to rival the local coffe shop."
