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 grew up with a raspberry patch in the backyard, and still make jelly every year (my colon doesn’t enjoy the seeds, hence jelly over jam).

    I was also gifted a large bag of wild plums this week. They’re not very good for eating (small and mostly pits, very different from domesticated plums) that I will probably make some sort of preserves from!
