RE: Rose hips and musings on preserving fruit
In order to make a jam you need to boil the fruit until it sets so sugar is normally used, @marblely. I tend to use the golden colour sugar anyway rather than the more refined variety. Honey would be okay for 'raw' fruit I guess though it would be a bit overwhelming for my taste.
Do you like jam ? Which flavour ?
Ah ok.. Seems interesting to make jam. Do you have to wait long before the fruit sets? Ooo yes I do.. after trying a few like marmalade, peach, raspberry, blueberry, I still like strawberry (with scones... yummm).
Oh, will you be joining @ivan-g's boat making giveaway? https://steemit.com/origami/@ivan-g/origami-boat
2 more days to go. Come come!
It is an interesting process and I'm not that familiar with it because I have to avoid a lot of sugar @marblely ... From what I know some fruit takes much longer but you can add extra pectin.
I think I'm too late for the boat challenge now ... but I'll enter even if late :D
As an update I have now uploaded two little boats for @ivan-g, thank you @marblely :D
Hehe yay! It is not late yet, still a few more hours to go before the post payout.. I haven't posted mine but will do soon :)
