Steps:
- Before you start, sterilise your jars and put a plate in the freezer to chill.
- Tip the berries, lemon juice and sugar into a preserving pan. Gently heat, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until the sugar has melted and fruits are juicy.
- Bring to the boil and boil rapidly for 5 mins. Remove from the heat and drop a little of the mixture onto the chilled plate. Push your finger through it; it should wrinkle and have set like jam. If it doesn't, boil for 2 mins more, then test again and, if necessary, keep repeating until it's ready.
- The top of the jam may look like it has sediment on it, but if you stir it well as it cools, it should disappear. Allow to cool and settle for 10-15 mins before ladling into sterilised jars and sealing. The jam will keep unopened for 1 year but, once opened, store in the fridge.

But if you use fresh juice make sure and add it before the milk so you will know how much milk you need to add. If the frosting gets to thin, just add some more powdered sugar. Hope you enjoy this, it is sooo good. You could also do this with lemon or lime the same way.

Time 1h30m
Yield makes 12 large or 24 small jumbles
Number Of Ingredients 7
Steps:
- Grease 2 large baking trays with butter and set aside. Put the flour and sugar in a bowl then stir in the beaten egg, mixed spice and vanilla. Add 50ml of water and begin to knead the mixture with your hands to bring it together, you want a firm dough so if it's still quite crumbly add a bit more water, 1 tbsp at a time until it comes together in one piece.
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Tip the dough out onto a floured work surface and chop up into either 12 or 24 pieces (depending on whether you're making large or small ones). Put a large pan of water on the hob and bring to the boil. Roll each piece of dough into a sausage shape and make into a knot, twist or plait before lowering it into the boiling water. Leave in the water for a few seconds and when it rises to the top scoop out with a slotted spoon, shake off any excess water and put on the prepared tray. Repeat with the rest of the dough.
- Bake the jumbles for 20-25 mins or until golden then leave them to cool on the tray before transferring them to a plate or board. Dust with icing sugar before serving if you like.

JUMBLES
Steps:
- Preheat oven 375. Lightly grease two cookie sheets.
- Sift flour and salt into large bowl. Set aside. With electric mixer, cream butter and add sugar gradually. To flour, add very well beaten eggs, butter mixture, and seeds. Beat vigorously with wooden spoon to combine well. By hand, gently knead ingredients into a ball of soft dough. If the weather is warm and the dough too soft to shape, you can refrigerate it for a couple of hours. Roll teaspoonfuls of the dough on a very lightly floured work surface, forming long thin ropes (about 5 inches). Roll the ropes in a plate of sugar. Place the ropes on prepared baking sheets, curling them into a circle and gently pressing ends together. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are very brown. Cool cookies on a rack. They crisp when they cool.

Tips:
- Use unsalted butter at room temperature to ensure the jam jumbles are light and fluffy.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This helps to incorporate air into the mixture, resulting in a more tender cookie.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This helps to prevent the mixture from curdling.
- Stir in the flour, salt, and baking powder until just combined. Overmixing can result in tough cookies.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This helps to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
- Use a teaspoon to drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Make sure to space the cookies about 2 inches apart.
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown around the edges.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Conclusion:
Jam jumbles are a delicious and simple cookie that is perfect for any occasion. They are light and fluffy, with a hint of sweetness from the jam. These cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
