Jamfail!

Our local greengrocer has had some very nice black currants (not actual blackcurrants, which are a kind of berry, but black currant grapes) in lately, so I have been buying a few at a time and hording them until yesterday when I had about half a kilo to make jelly (with the idea of having black currant jelly as a substitute for red currant jelly). But alas I was a little hasty in making it yesterday and I took it off the stove before it had reached the correct setting point. Even after sitting in the fridge overnight it still remained little more than a thick syrup. No problem, thought I. I'll just put it back on to cook a bit more tonight. So I did. And it promptly boiled over and spilled thick syrupy black currant goo all over the stove. And then I think I burnt it the remainder.

Liam came by while I was mopping pink goo off the stove.
"What happened here?" he asked. "Jamfail?"
"Yes," I said. "Jamfail."
