Jam making ritual recipe
Passing down family recipes and cooking skills to younger generations creates strong bonds and lasting memories. When you make food together as a family, it helps everyone live in the present moment – and preserving fruits is also a great way to avoid food waste! Turning the season’s excess into something you can enjoy for months to come.
- First, preserve your clothing with an apron. Next, put all the necessary cooking tools on the kitchen counter.
- Fill bowls with your favorite fruits that are in season.
- Use a wide pot to cook the recipe. Put the children on stirring duty with some balloon whisks – and adult supervision.
- Once it’s done, separate the preserves into small jars. Share the love, save a lot and gift a few decorated jars.
