I
wasn't going to make jam from this current harvest but then I
received a What's App message from my Dil (daughter in law)
pleading for a jar. I couldn't refuse, it's her favourite – here
it is :
different
size jars to suit everyone
Can't say I'm a huge jam fan and the only time H would ever have
it is on a Sunday morning on top of a slice of toast. I treated him
this morning - during the week I might add - and presented him with a
slice of morning toast liberally spread with the new jam and his cup
of tea of course – verdict – yum, it was worth it.
Then I had another thought, hence another experiment. I had half
a tub of roasted damsons in the fridge. I thought a more refined
syrup or drizzle if you like, was called for. Not everyone wants
whole fruits. I tipped the damsons into a fine sieve set over a jug
and forced the fruit against the sides to release the syrup. I
discarded the squished damsons then boxed and fridged, ready for use.
Another idea for the freezer too, if you prefer.
Here's the result :
looks
fab – I know I shouldn't
say
so – it tastes delish
You never know when it might come in handy – poured over
desserts or breakfasts!
P.s. I'm so glad I made the jam.
Next, a final back catalogue damson recipe, perfect for this time
of year
