the homemade jam

[katriona_s]

Recently when we (I and mother) have breakfast we enjoy some homemade jam. My friend M loves making jam and gives me the jars of the homemade jam often, like strawberry jam in spring, orange marmalade in winter etc. And I made juneberry jam at the beginning of this month. So I enjoy to choose which to eat :).



The jar with green top is the juneberry jam I made, I have some more unopened small bottles. Other are from M, the biggest one is marmalade, the jar of strawberry jam is almost empty. The dark green one is mint & apple jam, my favorite. Every morning I think the colors of jam are beautiful :)

I heard that some people do not receive the homemade jam or sweets from friends because the homemade thing cannot be clean enough compared to the merchandised foods made under the strict hygiene management. I understand those opinions because in Asian humid climate we should be careful to avoid food poisoning. Still I believe the homemade foods always taste better, especially jam and marmalade :)

There is nothing like home made jams and marmalades! My shelves in the cellar are full of various jars. I have never made any orange preserve. I have strawberry, blueberry, blackberry, gooseberry, currant, quince, juneberry, raspberry ...unfortunately no apricot and peach so far, these are extremely expensive these days here. All my family eat the preserves with relish and I like making them.

They look very tasty! ♥ My mother and aunt make jelly and jam sometimes, and it's always delicious.
