#jam

Today's adventures in #food #preservation: 13 half-pint jars of #loquat #jam, eight with chardonnay and five with riesling. The former is what "chard" stands for on the labels. I am the first to admit that loquat jam with actual chard would be nasty.

Here's the thing about loquats, in case anyone's interested: they're a real pain in the ass. On the plus side, they're delicious, but on the minus side, they're very small, they have to be peeled, and each fruit is about 85% pit. It takes a looooong time to process enough to be useful for #canning. Lucky for me, my wife has seemingly endless patience for food-prep projects as long as she can watch either "Great British Baking Show" or "Outlander" while doing them. She's completely caught up on GBBS at this point, but she has two seasons of "Outlander" to go, which she's saving for the feijoas (aka pineapple guavas) that will be ripening in a month or so.

Mr CP isn’t particularly keen on Bonne Maman jam and doesn’t understand why I buy it.

Many reasons…

I like the WW2 story.

I really like their raspberry conserve.

But I really, really like that the labels come off their jars in the dishwasher. And that’s the main reason why I buy Bonne Maman.

1 kg mirabelle plums (after stone removed)
700 g sugar
200 g water (less if the fruit is ripe)
juice of half a lemon (frozen and defrosted)

Heat water, sugar and lemon juice until boiling. Tip fruit in and bring back to the boil. Boil for 20 mins, stir to stop sticking but not too much.
