Fruits in combination for jams & jellies?
So far, I know you can make a four fruit jam: strawberry, cherry, raspberry and red currant .....
and I know the French use 1/8 red currants to a recipe for red raspberry jam ... it clarifies it, they say!
Anything else good?
Ta!
Answers:
Try ground pears and pineapple ... called "Pear Honey" ,,, very different from other jams or jellies. I don't have the recipe at hand but 'E' Mail me and I'll be happy to look it up or see Paula Dean in the Food Network.
I make a peach preserve with lavender in it. I first start with food grade lavender and boil it down, and then strain it. Otherwise you’ll have icky bits of lavender in the jam.
I also make a mixed fruit, with plumb, strawberry, blue berry, and apple.
strawberry-rhubarb
cherry-chokecherry
You should try rhubarb and lime it sounds very sharp but by the time you have added all the sugar it is simply deliciously moorish mmmm just add to the rhubarb (about 3lb) the zest and the flesh of two whole limes
How about apricot pineapple jam. I do that one each year.
Try a mixture of summer berries...raspberries, blueberries and blackberries are a perfect combination for this time of the year!
