    Just a few but there are loads more - they all do vouchers if you are really stuck. Does your jam maker have a maslin pan? I found this was one of the best jam making gifts I got.

    Hope you get something that suits.

    Loads of options, but not sure which would be available or suitable for planting right now. I've a number of fruit bushes and trees in the garden and reckon that red currant bushes are among the best for a heavy fruiting bush and tasty jam. Black and white currants are also quite good for this purpose, though for my palette the more acidic red currants are better for cooking. The other fruit that often ends up in jam in my garden would be plums and rhubarb. If space permits, a small fruit tree on dwarf stock might also be a gift option. While I've a few apple, pear, and plum trees, along with a solo fig tree, if I had space I'd love a crab apple for culinary purposes.
