Judging and how decisions are reached

· Certificates will be going out shortly - please be patient . The judging - please dont shoot the messenger, but I will try and explain how the judges found their overall winners. The judging of each jar is scored in 3 parts 10 points for each sections - Presentation/ Set /Taste. The commercials are judged as the rules of selling - on what is supposed to be on the jars ie rather than say 50% sugar 50% fruit it should read per 100 gram . It should be noted the exact ingredients and the source of where they came from . As there is more and more rules on emphasis on catering for disabilities now a day -all labels should be in good sized print, instructions of best before dates .Full contact details .And if there is any need to warn people who have certain dietary needs- to me this was a mine field but as I don' sell mine I don't have to comply to rules .

It is decision time .... you have one month left to get your jars in for the 2025 awards . Need inspiration go to Anna Lupton - Pinterest account and look up the World Jam Festival ,there are even recipes to go with these too. You may be digging out your granny's favourite recipes .Sometimes the most straightforward recipes are the best. If you are not a jam maker - think jelly, marmalade or chutney, there are so many different preserves you can put in a jar .The question to be answered Is your jar the show stopper . There is so much fruit to choice from in this garden and the little tree has apricots on . There is a peach tree which I have been nurturing since the one and only peach was formed. We had a deluge of rain and it started to go mouldy so it was quickly get it off the tree and eat it so no peach jam going from here as reckon what was left would have make a very very small jar and probably boiled away in the making
