Use fruit that is slightly over-ripe (should not be too difficult if

Thanks for the suggestion. Years ago I made al sorts of wine but never
had much success with plum. Now sadly my loss of balance means no
alcohol so its back to the jam and chutney!

Sad !
Can you not even have an alcoholic *drink sitting or lying down ?

No, unfortunately, despite what "old man" Martin says, it is a most
unpleasant sensation now, rather akin to what happens when you get a
bad migraine' and I fall off the chair! You kids just don't know how
lucky you are.
