Yesterday I went to a pick-your-own raspberries place, and picked a kilo och raspberries in two hours of slow podcast bliss, and today I made jam!
Here is the haul of yesterday:
Here is the finnished jam:
It is probably one of the most natural jams you can find, in these jars you will only find Swedish raspberries, Swedish sugar and a tiny amount of Ukrainian vodka (SLAVA UKRAINI).
The vodka was used to rinse and sterilize the jars and lids.
As a 38 years old IT guy I find that there are few men who likes making jam, so I thought I’d ask here of anyone else are making jam…
Not jam, but I have a pear tree in my yard. I chop them up & boil them in a sugar syrup for a few hours & then put them in mason jars, so I have diced pears for a few weeks in the fall. They’re tasty, although if I’m honest, not quite as good as the canned pears you’d get in a store. But there’s a certain fun factor to pretending I’m living off the land.
