We picked a dozen quarts of strawberries the other day and have turned them into delicious jam. It is an arduous process but well worth the time and effort. I prefer the non pectin method which means a longer time in preparing but I think it makes a better jam.
Every morning at our Catskills Bed and Breakfast we serve homemade jam. This week we are finishing up the blueberry jam made last season. Out raspberries are coming in and we should start serving our own homegrown raspberries this weekend. Unlike strawberries which are a short season, our raspberries fruit throughout the summer. Next will be blueberries and then blackberries. The blues in our garden are better than last year but the blacks look a little less plentiful than we would like.
Here are some pictures from the kitchen at Breezy Hill Inn.
