Ka-BOOM!!! Strawbs right out of the freezer. As you may recall, we harvested ten kilo’s of these last season. I had no pantry room for the whole lot, so ww did a huge batch then and now I am down to one pot…so my Bride suggested that we make more jam on this rainy day. I said that I was all-in. Oh jongens…I so enjoy blueberry jam, on and in things. Perhaps you noticed that not all the blueberries are blue. Well mates, don’t be fooled; they really are a blueberry. They are called, ‘Pink Lemonade’. They taste the same as blue blueberries, but are a tad sweeter. The blues above were fresh out of the freezer and this pic shows them on the scales after thawing overnight: The thing with the ‘Pink Lemonades’ is that if one makes jam with just them, the jam is a very un-appetising greyish-brown colour. I mean, the taste is wonderful, but the appearance sort of puts one off. This is why I combine the two when making jam— the pinky ones take on the bluish pigment of their blue cousins and, voilà, I am chuffed. 100 percent. This was three kilos and I have thirteen pots.
