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 .

One month to go until entries close

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.
