I love jam making. It's like everytime I make jam, I'm bottling up a bit of summer, a bit of the season, to be enjoyed for a long long time. If last year, I was the liqueur baroness, this year I am the jam begum.
I made three kinds of orange marmalade, jams, preserves, conserves and so it goes. I'm not sure what I was trying to achieve, but I wanted all kinds of fruit in bottles in my fridge.

While I don't have exact recipes, and I do play around with flavours quite a bit, here are some things to keep in mind while making jam


DIY: Making Jam


I've been away for a while. I can't promise to be back entirely. But, I will keep popping up cos there are too many things I make on a whim and a fancy and don't note down ingredients for. This is a fun one I want to remember. 

The way I start making stuff is, I look around in the market and check out seasonal produce. Then I start thinking of ways I can combine it to make interesting flavours. By now, you must have realised I generally prefer everything to have more than one main ingredient. It makes making it interesting for me, eating it more so. Or so I believe.
