The first jam making of the season happened a few days ago here at Struan Farm!
I've been debating over how much strawberry jam to make for farmstay guests this year, vs. blueberry, blackcurrant and damson. Our strawberry jam is simply too sweet for me, and quite a few people are cutting down on sugar. But guests profess to love it, especially kids. And it's easy and quick to make, another bonus.
I've decided to take a middle ground approach this year with strawberry jam and make a few batches when I have windows of time. Strawberries are in abundance right now, they taste amazing, and are well priced at Piopio Berry Orchard.
