Starting off the midsummer weekend with plättar (Swedish mini pancakes) topped with homemade jams. We've got blackberry, apricot, black mountain currant, and cherry.

One of the real treasures at home. A collection of jams made by me, my mom, and my grandma.

When I go to pick a new jar from the shelf, I am always reminded that there is tradition here. I wasn't particularly interested as a teenager, but eventually the gardening and jam making bug caught me too. It was inevitable 😛

Fun fact. There are different types of pectin with different structures. High methoxyl (HM) pectin requires a lot of sugar and a high temperature and will set quickly. Low methoxyl (LM) pectin needs calcium and works at a lower temperature and is slower to set.

Where I live, HM is absolutely dominant but the amount of sugar needed to make a thick jam is staggering and makes the end product less enjoyable in my personal opinion. It works fine for blueberries which have a level of astringency, but with strawberry it turns by far too sweet (or too runny if you use less).

This is why I bunker up on LM (with added calcium for a reliable result) when I'm traveling. With it, I can make much thicker and fruitier, well balanced jams 🍓🍒

Also, some fruits and berries have so much pectin on their own that there is no need to add any. For example apples and lingonberries. These can be combined with other fruits to thicken a jam with less or no added pectin 🍏

That velvety texture, the burst of fruity sweetness – no wonder jams have been a favorite for generations. But the charm of these sweet spreads isn’t limited to just our morning routines. #jam #recipes #breakfast #fruits #homemadejam

Today’s project is two experiments for the price of one: jam using (1) golden currants (Ribes aureum) and (2) only the pectin present in the fruit.

It looks great and smells wonderful. I may have overcooked it so it might turn out too firm. I guess I’ll find out.

The pot is on the counter and empty. There are three jars on a cutting board beside it, two full and one half fullCurrant mixture in a pot with a candy thermometer clipped to the side and a wooden spoon

Making freezer jam for the first time. I just looooove the colour of raspberries!

Large stainless steel bowl full of raspberry goo. It is a glorious deep pinkish red.

Sunshine in a jar! ☀️

Meyer lemons from my own tree combined with FL navel oranges and raspberries to make a bright, sweet-tart marmalade.

I water canned them, and hope to give them to neighbors and friends in 2023!

Hello #JamMakers how long should a jar of homemade jam last for after you have put it in the jar and sealed it?

Got probably the last strawberries of the year from our local farmers market. Added some cherries, a squeeze of lemon juice, gelling sugar, cooked it all together for a few minutes and voilà - delicious strawberry-cherry-jam :)
