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....
I also make jam, and I also get my supplies from pick-your-own places! I currently have a bag of strawberries and a bag of blueberries that I've picked in my freezer waiting to be converted.
Over the years I've done those two, along with plum, raspberry, pawpaw, cranberry, blackberry, pomegranate, and mixed berry. I've tried and failed at grape, but that was mainly because I didn't boil it down enough to actually become a jam.
My favorite I think was the pomegranate, though that was so much work I'll probably never do it again.
