Editors’ LetterDear Readers

It seems that Autumn is on its way againnow, and although we have had fantasticSeptember weather, there is definitely achill in the air first thing in the morningnow. Taking the dog round the field atSpring Close every morning at 6am, Iwonder how many more days I will beable to do it, until it gets too dark to seehim. I’m sure I can’t be alone in havingthat ‘back to school’ feeling, it seems itdoesn’t matter how old you are, this timeof year comes not only with morningsgetting darker and chillier, but also withthe general feeling of settling in a newterm at school. For those parents whohave children now in year 6, we havesome useful information about applyingfor a place at secondary school. Burwell isin the catchment area for both BottishamVillage College and Soham VillageCollege, and you can find informationabout the College open evenings on page29.

We love to get feedback from you, andthis month we had a card simply signedfrom ‘A Wellwisher’, asking us to mentionMr William and Mrs Rita Barton. Mr andMrs Barton have been volunteering theirfree time to help out with Clunch since thebeginning, but have recently decided totake a well deserved rest. So from all ofus at Clunch, a big thank you to Mr andMrs Barton for all their help. And thankyou too, to the ‘Wellwisher’ for writing into let us know about Mr and Mrs Barton,and also for telling us how much youenjoy Clunch. We do appreciate this! Thismay be a good time to mention that wehave had more volunteers come forwardto give up their spare time, so thank youto you all, remember that without you

there would be no Clunch! Having saidthis, we always welcome new volunteersand currently we need some moretypesetters. We do have two typesetterswho come up trumps every issue (thankyou to Louise and Tzeyun!) but there isalways a lot of copy to deal with and itwould be good to get some new peopleon board. Experience is not necessary,you just need to have a good eye fordetail and be able to use a mouse!Training will be given (it’s really startingto sound like a job advert now …) andtrust me, if I can pick it up then anyonecan!

Next issue will of course be the Christmasissue, so if you are organising a Christmasfayre, or planning a Christmas sale thenmake sure you let us know the details by1 November. Remember that Clunch hasa large readership, you could get yourmessage out to many more peoplethrough Clunch, than just posting a posteron a lamp post!

And finally, thank you for your loyalsupport, we know that there are manypeople out there who love Clunch, whoread it through from cover to cover andthen keep it, who pick it up again to finda local tradesman, do the the wordsearch, have a stab at the crossword;whilst other reading material that comesthrough the door is skimmed through andthen binned. And it is because of you thatClunch is still here and, I hope, still loved.

From my AtticLast night we were enjoying ourmushrooms on toast for supper, and I hada vivid recollection of my Mother. This wasnot because of her excellent cooking (anexpertise I have never acquired) but forthe many times I watched her mendingthe “potatoes” in my socks when I was aschoolboy. I often wonder if boys still getpotatoes, or are today’s socks made ofsterner stuff?

The mushroom comes into my story thismonth because Mother used a woodenmushroom on which to stretch the socks,held tight by a spring band, rather like abicycle clip, which fitted into a groove allround the top of the mushroom. Themushroom ended up in our attic, alongwith other relics of her needlework days.The mushroom was made of a hard wood,quite dark in colour, and worn very smoothwith constant use. Since we moved themushroom has now retired to Betsy inAustralia.DAVID BUSH

Fancy a Cuppa?Loneliness has been reported to beassociated with poor physical andpsychological health. It can occur at anyage but is more common in older peoplebecause they often have reduced socialcontacts due to ill health and disability.Recent research has highlighted theimportance of companionship and socialnetworks. This isn’t rocket science; callingon someone on a regular basis to have acup of tea can make a huge difference inpeople’s lives.Burwell Visiting is a group of friendly,ordinary people who enjoy visiting.

Swimming PoolPosition Statement June 2012 - I haverecently taken the chair, I have beenaccompanied by a new secretary MrsDebbie Marsh and Ms Katie Oakden,Treasurer. We would like to thank the outgoing chair Liz Mills and the previoussecretary and treasurer for all their hardwork. They are remaining on the committeeas helpful members.

We have now reached the stage when wehave to re-evaluate the state and future ofthe swimming pool. If it was as simple as“use it or lose it” we could pull together amarketing strategy that would attract bothschool and public use. The problem is thepool pump and poly-carbonate cover are nolonger fit for purpose.

The committees view is that the immediatetask is to seek a structural evaluation of thepool. This will enable us to predict thecorrect annual repair and running costs. Theproblem with repairs and running costs andattempting to keep the pool open for2012/2013 is the fact that it is supported byso few volunteers who are giving substantialperiods of time to keep the pool running.This cannot be sustained in the long term,the article in the clunch “swimming poolclosing” resulted in one member of thecommunity coming forward. This was aterribly disappointing response. I ampleased to report that we do have theinterest of a district councillor. Thecommittee needs to be configured as acommunity partnership committee andwithout the support of the essentialelements of the community we will notachieve a vision for the future.

To enable us to raise appropriate levels offunding we need to be in a position todevelop a vision with a difference. We couldjust ‘patch and mend’ but how long wouldthat last? And is that the best use of thesmall funds available?

Our vision is to explore, evaluate and costan eco-friendly pool with an all year roundcover and one that meets the requirementsof all. A brief glance at our financial positionand current running costs clearlydemonstrates that we have more moneygoing out than coming in. We need toreduce running costs and generate incomethat exceeds the out-goings to facilitateupkeep and continued investment.

Everything we do in life appears to betarget driven, the swimming pool is noexception. In the national curriculum thetarget is that all children by the age of 11will be able to swim 25 metres unaided. Athird of all children’s deaths involve water.

There is a conference on the 10th Julyfacilitated by the Department of Health. It’sa panel of experts coming together todiscuss how they can tackle/prevent obesityin the young. Let us successfully put policyinto practice, swimming is an effectivepathway to the earlyintervention/prevention of obesity. Let ususe our existing resources to promotehealthy living and sport for all ourpopulation.

The next step is to evaluate the wayforward in terms of options and cost. Wehope to achieve this in the next 6-8 weeks,our options are:

� Do nothing

� Patch and mend

� Eco friendly swimming pool

We intend to approach the local parishcouncil and seek an opportunity to presentthe options and costs and communicate thecurrent position with as many individualsand families in Burwell as possible.

Photographic ClubFollowing our article in the last issue ofClunch where SLR (Single Lens Reflex)cameras were mentioned, there are ofcourse many different types of digitalcamera that can be used to capture yourimages. You do not even need a camera,just a scanner and a computer! Mostpeople however will find it easier to useone of the various types of digital camera.The photographs taken will usually be ofgood quality, subject to the lightconditions and the knowledge of the user.However a far more important factor inthe appearance of any photograph is thecomposition, which has a major influenceon the way the human eye views thepicture.

PCSO ReportHello everyone,

I hope you are all well. The summer wasa busy one for us with the Olympics and allthe events for that, I had the chance to goto some of the events around the areawhich I must say were very enjoyable.

One of the big priorities for us at themoment is business and commercialburglaries. We have seen a number ofthem in East Cambs and also acrossCambridgeshire. Offenders have beentargeting business premises mainly atcommercial and industrial estates; theyhave been entering the offices and lookingfor cash and other valuables.

I would urge all of you to make sure thatyou are keeping a watchful eye over theseareas and report to us any suspiciouspeople or vehicles and for those of youwho work at these type of premises, makesure you are locking up properly andsecuring any cash or valuables such aslaptops, sat-navs etc.

On a more local level, we have seen acouple of thefts from motor vehicles in

Burwell over recent months; these aremainly targeting works vans to steal powertools. Again, I would ask all of you to keepan eye out for any suspicious people orvehicles and report it to us so we can dowhat we need to do to stop this type ofcrime.

As for me, I have been busy doingbusiness as usual, crime enquiries, visitingvictims of crime as well as working on ourlocal Neighbourhood Panel Priorities ofparking and speeding within the village. Ihave issued a number of parking tickets tocars that have been parked on doubleyellow lines and obstructing the footpath.I have also been out and about doingspeed checks in the village resulting in anumber of drivers receiving a letter fromus!

That’s it for me this time, as always youcan report anything you feel necessary on101, in an emergency, always dial 999.

Thanks

Family Fun DayTo raise money for the East AnglianAir Ambulance and Headway.

Sunday 30th September at The FiveBells, Burwell

In late January this year, Burwell residentRichard Fryer suffered life-threateninghead and chest injuries when his carcollided with a scaffolding lorry on theNewmarket-Cambridge road. The EastAnglian Air Ambulance (EAAA) attendedthe scene and performed life-savingemergency treatment before Richard wastaken to Addenbrookes where Richardremained in a coma for many weeks.Whilst the doctors struggled to get Richardbreathing unassisted, his family waited tohear the extent of his head injury andwhether he would be left paralysed by theaccident.

Thankfully, the Fryers are some of thelucky ones. Once Richard took over hisown breathing, he came out of his coma in

very good shape. He suffered no paralysisand his head injury was minimal – anabsolutely astonishing result given theextent of his accident. Now, some monthson, he has just started back at work on apart-time basis, and he and his wife,Charlie, are enjoying sleepless nights withtheir second baby.

Richard and Charlie know they oweabsolutely everything to the quick andprofessional response of the EAAA. Theyreached Richard within five minutes of the999 call going out, lifted him from thewreck of his car, and treated him by theside of the road. Without the expertise ofthe EAAA doctors and paramedics, andwithout the specialist equipment they carryon board, they would be in a very differentsituation now. By putting Richard into acoma and paralysing him right then andthere, they saved his brain. By operatingon his lungs and taking over his breathing,they saved his life.

So on 30th September, Richard’s friendand fitness training buddy, Steve Breen(also a Burwell resident) will run a localmarathon to raise money for the EAAA.His finish line is The Five Bells where aCharity Family Fun Day will be in full swing– with a BBQ, a raffle with loads ofexcellent prizes, fun entertainment for kidsof all ages, face painting, bouncy castleand loads more. Please see the villageposters for more information. With freeentry and plenty to keep the kids happywhile you enjoy a couple of drinks and ayummy BBQ, it promises to be an excellentday. All you are asked to do is turn up,enjoy yourself and make a generousdonation. By supporting this event, you willbe helping celebrate family life and raisingmoney for the EAAA and Headway whorely solely on charitable donations to fundtheir work and save the lives of others inour region.


Parish Council NewsNew Councillors – Following theresignation of Mrs Mandy Wilkins who hasmoved from the village and Mrs BerylBrown who resigned for personal reasonstwo new Councillors have now been co-opted onto the council. Whilst welcomingnew Councillors we would also like toextend our thanks for all the time andeffort freely given by Beryl and Mandyduring their time on the Council.

Contact details for the new Councillors areas follows :

Miss Laura Barrett - 21 Swaffham Road

Telephone : 615528

Mrs Liz Swift - 25 The Causeway

Telephone : 743694

Vice–Chairman – Following theresignation of Mandy Wilkins from theCouncil and consequently as Vice-Chairman of the Council a new ViceChairman was elected this is Mrs BrendaWilson.

Village Sign – The majority pf therestoration work on the village sign hasnow been completed and the last reportfrom the restorer was that the final paintwork was being done. A new post has alsoordered and it is hoped that the sign willbe back in situ prior to the onset of thewinter weather.

Kingfisher Drive – The Parish Councilare currently in negotiation with ReasonConstruct Homes to adopt the open spacealong the river bank, which will mean thatit will be maintained by the Parish alongwith other areas of open space throughoutthe village. There will be a lump sumconsideration given to the Parish to helptowards the cost of the maintenance bythe contractors as part of a section 106agreement.

Jubilee Reading Room – The tenderingprocess has been instigated for theproposed extension to the Jubilee ReadingRoom to provide much needed storagespace and improved access.

Youth – Following a successful stand atthis years Carnival the Youth WorkingGroup are looking at ways they can helpthe youngsters of the village achieve someof the suggestions and ideas that were putto them on Carnival day. They are lookingat working in closer partnership with theyouth of the village and the introduction ofa Facebook page, and possible formationof a youth council.

First Drove – By the time this article ispublished we will have the result of aplanning application to redevelop theformer cold store site in First Drove into asite for travellers with six new pitcheshaving been applied for. The ParishCouncil have opposed this application aswe feel that it fails to meet the criteria setout for travellers sites and that the accessroadway is of a poor standard and can notmaintain further usage.

Correspondence to the Parish Council– We would like to remind residents thatany correspondence to the Council mustbear a name and address. We will alwaysmaintain confidentiality, but cannot act onany anonymous correspondence.

And finally… With the longer, darkerwinter evenings approaching please maywe ask all dog owners to remember to pickup after their dogs. It is a well establishedfact that evidence of fouling increasesduring the winter months as people thinkthat if its dark then nobody notices thatthey do not clear up after their animals.Whilst there are no dedicated dog wastebins in the village it is acceptable todeposit bagged waste in the many litterbins throughout the village.

Foods you won’t find in thesupermarket.Growing your own fruit and veg isbecoming increasingly popular withvegetable seed sales overtaking flowerseeds in recent years and with muchmedia coverage. There are many reasonsfor this – it may be healthy, therapeuticor just something you enjoy doing, but inthis article I will highlight taste, cost andchoice.

Supermarkets prefer products that areeasy to transport and look good on theshelf. Taste is not always a priority. Eventhe well-known Victoria plums are hard tofind being too delicate and short-lived forthe average supermarket. There is alsothe issue of freshness. Sweet corn andpeas for example are best cooked withinhours of being picked for maximumsweetness - the sugars decay to starch assoon as they harvested. Produce on thesupermarket shelf may already be over aweek old (plenty of time to have lostflavour and nutrients). Also, many believethat commercial crops over-pumped with

fertiliser have less flavour - anyonebought bigger but tasteless strawberriesthis year?

Despite hard financial times andincreased food prices, I am not convincedthat saving money is the goal for mosthome growers. The cost of all the seeds,allotment rent, composts and feeds, tools,water butts and compost bins, protectivefleece and netting and so on soon addsup. And if time is money, then the manyhours spent digging watering andweeding are the biggest cost of all. Somecrops (e.g. carrots and potatoes) arerelatively cheap to buy in any case. If youare keen to save money, then growingplants that are expensive to buy such asrunner beans, asparagus andstrawberries makes the most sense.

Author Mark Diacono talks about makingthe garden ‘unbuyable’ – growing foodthat you can’t buy in the shops. Examplesinclude:

Medlars – an unusual fruit grown sincemediaeval times that makes a fine gardentree, (but perhaps not for planting near apath as the fruit makes a mess). The fruit

Medlars Japanese Wineberry

Reasons to Grow Your Own


Jerusalem Artichoke Lovage

has to ‘blet’ (in essence rot) until itbecomes squishy and sweet before youeat it. You are unlikely to find them inTesco’s.

Japanese wineberry – an alternative toraspberry, good for cooking and baking.

Jerusalem Artichokes – related tosunflowers but grown for theirunderground tubers like potatoes with asweet nutty taste and crispy texture. Theyare suitable for roasting, sautéing, gratinsand soup, and very easy to grow (to thepoint of becoming invasive).

Lovage - a perennial herb, also easy togrow. It tastes and looks something likeparsley or celery with a hint of spice. Itmakes good soups and stews. Lovagecordial was once a popular drink. [NBGarden Organic advise against eatinglovage when pregnant or suffering fromkidney disease].

Growing unusual fruit and veg opens up awhole new world of flavours for cookingwith. Recipes are easily found on theinternet. The above are all available from

good garden centres or seed catalogues.There is also all the wider range ofvarieties of familiar foods: yellowbeetroot and purple carrots, heritageapples that taste of pineapple, squashesin all colours, shapes, textures andflavours. Nicky’s Seed Nursery sells over90 types of tomato and more than 200chilli varieties.

Many of these crops can be incorporatedinto a small garden. Alternatively,consider taking on an allotment. At thetime of writing, there is a short waiting listfor plots in Burwell.

Hopes are high that therewill be the support & provision for childrenand young people inspired by the Gamesto go on and develop their sportingtalents.Those living in East London will be hopingfor a positive impact on local needs. It’salways a challenge to think about howwhat we do now affects those who comeafter us, and this has been a key part ofour thinking at St Mary’s – with our visionthat the building will be ‘a warm andwelcoming centre of prayer andcommunity life.’As we have researched the history of thechurch for Building to Serve, we havelooked back at the faithful committedservice of many people over the years toensure that St Mary’s remains such awonderful building, but we’ve also seenhow each generation has added to whathas gone before, looking to the future, forthose who would come after.That emphasis on looking forward andbuilding for the future also lies at the heartof our emphasis on working with childrenand young people and their families.Today’s world presents many challengesfor our children and young people, and wewant to do all we can to support family life,and the nurture of faith in the home. Hereare some of the things we do.Little Bears is for pre-school childrenand their parents/carers.

St Mary’s Building toServe – Update

Our very successful Celebration Weekendin September marked the completion ofPhase 1 of our Building to Serve project,when the Bishop of Ely dedicated thenewly installed gas boiler, at a specialCelebration Service.The theme of the service was to givethanks for everyone who has cared for anddeveloped the church in past generationsand to dedicate ourselves to continue thiswork for the future.You may recall that we launched ourBuilding to Serve Appeal in June with theaim of raising £1million over a number ofyears to update our facilities to become amore accessible and resourceful buildingwithin the community.The majority of the funds raised for Phase1 – a total of £70k – were made availablethrough a legacy left by the late NancyHeeks, whose father used to stoke the fireat St Mary’s, with the balance coming fromchurch funds.The installation of the new boiler meansPhase 1 of Building to Serve is complete,and we are really excited that we can nowmove ahead with Phase 2. This willinclude toilets, kitchen facilities andimproved storage space and meetingrooms. In the course of this work, we mayalso be able to make some minorimprovements to the infrastructure anduse of space, but the more ambitious plansfor re-arranging the internal spaces willhave to wait for a later phase.The cost of Phase 2 is estimated to bearound £190,000 of which a total of£90,000 has already been raised orpledged over the last three months sincethe launch of the Appeal.

Tech SnippetsWaving at your television set

A Korean manufacturer and an Israeligesture recognition company have joinedforces to launch an Android-based set-topbox, that promises to turn any televisioninto a smart device controlled by small,natural and intuitive hand gestures.

The technology only needs a 2D camera tooperate, is run on Android's latest IceCream Sandwich OS and has plenty ofpotential for streaming, gaming and videocalling, as well as some truly lazy websurfing from the sofa.

Canon EOS 6D

Professional photographers use full-frame35mm DSLRs; consumers tend to opt formore affordable "cropped sensor"alternatives, such as the 60D or 600D.Canon has just announced the EOS 6D,which takes some of the most attractivefeatures of full-frame cameras and wrapsit in a body aimed at more price-consciousenthusiasts.

Inside the 20.2-megapixel 6D is the Digic5 processor, as used by the 5D Mark III,an 11-point autofocus system, ISOsensitivity of 100-25,600, GPS for imagemeta data tagging and for the first timeWi-Fi. Price for the body only £1799.

Apple iPhone 5

So it’s finally arrived after the usual hypesurrounding an Apple launch. So what wasall the fuss about? Even though the phonelooks pretty much the same, there is abigger screen 4” so it’s taller and allows foranother row of app icons and for playing16 x 9 wide-screen video.

What else? Better screen, lighter, thinner,faster, improved battery life, and a bettercamera.

The new OS gives an updated version ofMaps that is fast, intuitive and willprobably make that old satnav redundant.

It all adds up to being a really great phonebut at a purchase price of over £500, itshould be.

Nokia Lumia 920

Just a week prior to the Apple iPhonelaunch, Nokia and partner Microsoft Corpshowcased the Lumia 920 phone in whatmay be their last major shot at reclaimingmarket share lost to Apple, Samsung andGoogle.

Microsoft and Nokia hope the device,sporting bright colours from red to yellow,a bigger screen, and technology thatreduces blur and shakiness in pictures andvideo, will become a potent weapon in anescalating global war to dominate themobile industry.

Despite this confidence, the company'sshares fell 13% having gained 67% sincemid-July as anticipation built ahead ofLumia's unveiling.

It looks as if the old guard are losing outto the new kids on the block.

Lifestyle and Fitness trackers

Walking 10,000 steps a day cansignificantly improve your health,according to recent research.

Thanks to the Fitbit Ultra, you can trackhow many steps you take, how manyfloors you climb and even estimates theamount of calories you have burned.

At night you can clip the Fitbit Ultra to avelcroed wrist-band and wear it while yousleep. It will track how long it took you tofall asleep, how many times you woke upand then calculate your "sleep efficiency2and it links to your smartphone and PC .£79.99


Lodestar FestivalAfter a faltering start a few years ago,Lodestar has gone from strength tostrength, and is now firmly established asa great family friendly festival.

Year-on-year has seen improvements tofacilities, now with a large big top stage forthe comedy, theatre and burlesque acts.

This years bands were an interesting mixof upcoming acts and some well knownnames.

Fridays line-up included local rockers VioletBones amongst others and headlining were2005 Mercury Prize nominees, theGo!Team. They play an interesting mix ofgenres and have an infectious stageenergy that would get any sedentarycrowd shouting for more. They announcedsadly, that this would be the last time theband would be playing together.

Saturday saw Hertfordshire band, The Folkappearing on The Big Top stage. Althoughthe name might suggest they are not a folkband. Local presenters on BBCCambridgeshire, Sue Marchant and SueDougan have both had the girls on theirshows. On stage they sometimes lookedlike they lacked confidence in theirabilities, but they played a great set for awarm September afternoon in the fens.

At tea-time I took to the stage with myfellow crew members of The CambridgeImprov Factory and due to weird acoustics,had fun trying to hear the audiencesuggestions for our games. We rocked thehouse though.

The evening had some special momentsfor me. The samba band percussionistsdrew the crowd (and me) across the sitetowards the fire-show and an impromptudance party started, inevitable I would say,due to the infectious beats.

Back over to the main stage to catchfour-piece girl band, Katsenjammer. Theycome from Norway and formed in Oslo in2004 after meeting at a private musicschool. The crowd loved their mix of folk,country, blues, punk rock and upliftingBalkanised gypsy rhythms. All fourmembers of the band are lead singers andall four play the massive contrabassbalalaika (Google this) and loads of otherinstruments to boot.

Then came the big name of Saturdaynight, Sir Bob Geldoff. I must admit I waswondering if he would be able to hold thiscrowd, but I was pleasantly surprised atthe performance. The band was a talentedcrew of “older” musicians and theirmusicianship and the obvious charisma ofSir Bob made for a slick set.

A quick run over to see the last burlesqueact, Cherry and Ruby. They performed apolished feather routine and I can see whythey are so well known on the UK scene.

I rounded off the night with some dodgydad dancing in a field and fell into my tent,very, very happy indeed.

Sunday started for me with a strangeshower time. Trying to get your clothesback on when you are in a small cupboardwith a soaking wet floor is fun.

In the afternoon I spotted Rupert Grint (ofHarry Potter fame) in the crowd. He wasthere to see his sister Samantha performon the main stage.

The evening ended with Michele Stodart(the bass player from The Magic Numbers,who played at last years festival) with hersolo outing, beautifully rounding off yetanother succesful Lodestar, Well doneDoug Durrant and his team. I’m alreadylooking forward to next year.

RecipesLovage and Potato Soup

Ingredients:1 medium onion, peeled and finely chopped1 tablespoon olive oil1 kg potato, scrubbed and cubed1/2 litre vegetable stock, or 1/2 litre chicken stock (use more or less to give preferredconsistency)1/2 litre milk5 tablespoons chopped lovage (retain small amount for garnish)salt & pepper

Directions:1. In a large saucepan, saute the chopped onion in olive oil until translucent; then add the cubedpotatoes and mix together.2. Add the stock and milk, simmering until the potatoes are nearly tender.3. When potatoes are soft,add the lovage and liquidise the soup, adding further stock or milk if athinner consistency is required.4. Check the seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste.5. Return to the saucepan and heat through gently - do NOT allow the soup to boil.6. Serve hot and garnish with the remaining lovage and crusty bread and butter or bread rolls.

Medlar Jelly

Ingredients:1kg medlars (quartered but not peeled)500g Bramley cooking apples650g granulated sugar (approx)

Directions:1. Quarter the medlars. Peel and chop the apples and tip the fruit into a preserving pan, or anyheavy-bottomed, deep, wide pan, with just enough water to cover.2. Bring to a simmer and cook for 30-45 minutes, until the medlars are soft and pulpy.Tip: If you have freshly picked, unbletted medlars, remove any leaves from them and place them inone layer in a shallow bowl and leave them in a cool place until they turn brown and soften slightly.3. Strain through a jelly bag on a stand set over a large bowl. Don't be tempted to poke, squeeze orforce the pulp through the bag or you'll get a cloudy jelly, just leave it to drip over the bowl overnight.(The pulp is perfect for adding to chutney).4. Measure the juice, pour into a clean preserving pan and bring to boiling point before adding thesugar (for every 1l of juice, add 650g of sugar). Stir, in one direction only to reduce foam, until sugaris totally dissolved then boil rapidly for 8 minutes or until the setting point is reached. If you have apreserving thermometer, it should read 104.5°C; if you don't have a thermometer, drop a little jellyonto a saucer which you have chilled in the fridge. Let the jelly cool for a minute then push it gentlywith your finger. If it crinkles, it has reached its setting point. Remove from the heat and skim off anyscum using a slotted spoon.5. Decant carefully into a warm jug and pour into warm, sterilised jars. Perfect served with game.
