Now we're all raspberry jam fans, but imagine adding prosecco into the mix. This seeded raspberry jam is made using Silver Spoon Jam Sugar. This sugar contains the right amount of natural pectin that certain fruits lack, it helps ensure the jam sets quickly and retains its fresh fruity flavour and natural colour. The added prosecco gives this jam a wonderful flavour and is great spread on a slice of toast. This would be the perfect recipe to make ahead and give out as presents to loved ones and just to have in your own cupboard for a breakfast treat! &nbsp;

This velvety, smooth, citrussy orange curd makes a nice change from lemon curd. Spread it on freshly-baked bread or use it as a filling for a Victoria sponge cake.
<h3>Is orange curd the same as marmalade?</h3>
Orange curd and marmalade both share a distinctive orangey taste, and they're delicious on hot buttered toast - but that's where their similarities end.
Orange curd is a thick, creamy-looking spread which contains eggs and butter, and it's got a similar texture to custard. <a href="https://www.bakingmad.com/recipes/shredless-marmalade">Marmalade</a>, on the other hand, is a preserve made with sugar, water and lemons, and its end result is similar to a jelly or a jam. Marmalade also has a brighter, more intense citrus flavour with a balance of sweet and bitter notes from the citrus peel.

Orange Curd

Have you been out foraging blackcurrants? We've got the recipe for you. This jam is a gamechanger- the tartness of the blackcurrants together with the sloe gin gives this jam a really rich and tasty flavour. Don't worry if you haven't got the right weight of berries, if you use 1.2 times the weight of the fruit in sugar, and 0.6 times the weight of the fruit in water. To give you an idea, we made 4 jars of jam using 675g fruit and this is the recipe.

Blackcurrant & Sloe Gin Jam

This grapefruit and lemon marmalade is very refreshing and an interesting twist on the usual marmalades. This recipe includes two hours of simmering on the hob and straining through a muslin. The marmalade will keep for up to a year in a sterilised air tight container.
