A cheap alternative to a demijon is a 5 litre mineral water bottle, just drill a hole in the lid and glue the airlock on!
Got plenty of DJ's but great Idea T

Have a go and lets compare results
How much yeast and enzyme ?

Make sure that the jam has no preservatives in its ingredients, other wise it will not ferment. If it has preservatives, bring to the boil with the water added and simmer for about ten minutes to drive them off, making sure that you don't add the yeast, enzyme and nutrient until it has cooled to about 21 degrees C.
No more than a teaspoon of general purpose wine yeast will be needed per gallon. I would add a couple of teaspoons of pectic enzyme and a teaspoon of nutrient for this recipe.
Sounds awesome!!
What is a Demi John please?
