Introduction
When we talk about jams and jellies we always imagine something sweet, pleasant and fragrant. For me, jam is associated with the summer and grandma. When I hear the word jam, I see colorful pictures of summer and a lot of sun.
Jam could be prepared from any fruits or berries - both traditional as apples, strawberries, raspberries, gooseberries or pears, and exotic ones, for example, mango, pineapple, bananas or papaya. Some fans of unusual sweet desserts prepare jams and jellies from carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, oranges, chestnuts or walnuts.
Jams can have various forms, colors, and tastes. Jams and jellies can be liquid and thick, sour, very sweet or with a hint of sweetness or sourness. We can cook them with the sugar, honey, stevia or erythritol. Jams have orange, red, purple, pink, dark blue and many other colors.
In this cookbook, you will find traditional, homemade, grandmas apple, strawberry, raspberry, gooseberry jams and jellies. Everyone will find tasty jams or jellies for himself.
Moreover, you dont need to be a professional 28 Michelin Star chef to cook sweet and mouthwatering jams and jellies from this cookbook and to prepare tasty fruit desserts for yourself, your friends and family. I would like to encourage you to test these artisan jams and jellies recipes and to experiment with the ingredients adding your own flavors!
Jams & Jellies Sunny Harvest
Summer is the time when we can enjoy sweet and colorful fruits, but what about winter? How to preserve those sunny days and sweet tastes? People invented jams and jellies. Delicious and fragrant jam or jelly, with the taste and smell of the sun and heat, is especially pleasant to taste during the cold winter period, recalling the hot and sunny summer. Moreover, family tea is hard to imagine without the fragrant and sweet raspberry jam or blackcurrant jelly, which is loved by both children and adults. Tea with a tempting sweet jam dessert brings people together, provides an opportunity to socialize, communicate and enjoy delicious fruit desserts.
Jams and jellies are preserving the taste of natural berries and fruits, but what is more, sweet fruit desserts improve the mood and give a piece of summer and summer heat. Fruit jams also fill us with the energy and vitality and are healthy, because they contain various vitamins, minerals, and trace elements.
Each grandma has her own secrets of how to prepare delicious redcurrant, blackcurrant, strawberry, raspberry, apple, pear, quince, gooseberry, sweet cherry or peach jams.
There are many ways to process the fruits to cook delicious jellies or jams, among which everyone can choose the right one. However, there are general cooking rules and some subtleties how to prepare tasty jams that every housewife should know, no matter what jam recipes she uses.
From this grandmas jams and jellies cookbook, you will learn how to prepare classic homemade fruit preserves, which will be mouthwatering and delicious. Enjoy!
Grandmas Orange-Strawberry Jam
Prep Time: 30 min. Makes around 7 12 oz jars
Ingredients:
5 lb fresh, small strawberries
2 oranges, peeled and diced
1 tbsp. orange zest, minced
2 tbsp. pectin
5 cups of brown sugar
5 tbsp. orange juice
How to Prepare:
- In a saucepan, combine the strawberries and orange cubes and spoon the sugar over the fruits. Leave the strawberries for at least few hours unrefrigerated at room temperature.
- Boil the strawberries and oranges over medium heat for around 30 minutes, stirring all the time with a spoon until the sugar dissolves but dont crush the berries or orange. Remove the foam from the strawberry jam. In a saucepan, heat the water. Spoon the pectin and mix well to melt the pectin in the warm water.
- 10 min. before the jam is ready stir in the orange zest and pectin. Then pour some orange juice and keep stirring until the strawberries and orange mixture has gelled enough. Spoon some jam on a plate and wait until thickened, if not continue boiling and testing every 5 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan with the strawberries from the heat and ladle freshly cooked jam into sterilized jars up to 1/5 inch from the top.
- Flip the jars with the orange-strawberry jam upside down or boil for around 10 minutes and then leave to cool. Check the lids by pressing them with the finger. In case some of the jars with the jam are unsealed, place them into the fridge or reprocess the unsealed jars.
