fruity sauces/jams
yesterday i visited whitechapel market, east london, for fruit and vegetables. a busy, busy trader on the fruit stall! i bought some fruit to make jams/sauces
3 large punnets raspberries @ £1 a punnet (made 4 jars of raspberry jam/sauce)
2 large punnets strawberries @ £1 a punnet (made 2 jars of strawberry jam/sauce)
6 persimmons @ 3 for £1 (made 1 jar of persimmon jam/sauce)

the persimmon jam/sauce is an experiment. i'm a newby to persimmons but thought i'd have a go at making persimmon jam/sauce as an introduction to this fruit after viewing bo thenook's photo of freeze dried persimmons. they looked dellcious flic.kr/p/2rKyK3x
persimmon jam recipe itsnotcomplicatedrecipes.com/persimmon-jam/ i should have read this recipe before i made the jam :)
i should have peeled the fruit and added water
i did add the lemon juice but more liquid was needed
once blended the mixture was very thick
never mind, the jam/sauce i've made is fine, but would have been so much better if i'd followed the recipe ... next time
update 12th december 2025
i remade the persimmon jam/sauce flic.kr/p/2rLmww4
it's close to christmas so i've added sugar not chia seeds to these jams/sauces. i'll return to being calorie careful after the festivities :)
