Other than filling with plaster and taking a cast of your bits, what use do you suggest for large glass jars? (lemmy.fwgx.uk)

Seems like a shame to throw away and must have a use.

Not exactly! I just sort of take finely chopped apples (for pectin), onions, mango, and dried raisins or dried apricots. Then I boil, adding (a little) vinegar over time until it looks like chunky jam. Then I flavor it with soup stock and cinnamon to taste. Some nutmeg too, if you like. Finally I adjust acidity and sweetness with more vinegar or some sugar -- but that's usually not necessary if I add things in slowly.

If it's too acidic, boil it longer, adding a little water if it gets dry. Vinegar (acetic acid) is a gas and will evaporate out slowly this way.

Mix frequently.
