Looks fantastic! I've dabbled in the world of pickles and preserves for the first time this year - couple of different jams and a chutney. I'm loving the results, but the frozen saucer test doesn't work for me - setting point all down to guesswork I'm afraid..!
Setting point is definitely the tricky bit. I go by temperature. I just pop a normal food thermometer probe in every so often with a towel round my hand to stop burns and keep going till it gets to 105 C
