This week for our German class, those who were able went to a strawberry field where you can pick your own berries. There are many of these fields here and you can pick to your heart’s content.
The Germans sell a sugar mixture that already contains pectin. It’s quick and easy to use, requiring boiling the fruit only 4 minutes on the stove before filling the jars. The sugar content is also much lower than our traditional American “cup to a cup” of sugar and fruit.
This was fun and the jam will be delicious! We love our German class!
