jams/sauces

yesterday at whitechapel market i bought three large punnets of blueberries and three of raspberries total cost £6. they were beautiful and soooo many. it's a busy, busy fruit stall at the end of the market, walking towards the city. i didn't want to waste them so cooked them all today with sugar. i also had a pineapple in the fridge and cooked that too

 

both raspberries and blueberries washed, cooked with lemon juice (no water) until softened, brought to the boil, sugar added, a rolling simmer, when happy with the consistency i took the jam/sauce off the heat, cooled and poured into jars for the fridge

 

pineapple peeled, chopped and cooked with orange juice as i had some going spare, (no water) cloves, star aniseed, cinnamon powder and ginger powder, finally when the fruit was softened and brought to the boil, i added sugar, a rolling simmer, when happy with the consistency i took the jam/sauce off the heat, cooled and poured into jars for the fridge

ps i'm not recommending any of these cookery adventures. they suit my personal taste. photographing to encourage myself to eat more healthily ...

 

i've created a group www.flickr.com/groups/cooking_is_my_hobby/ to gather ideas and encourage myself to continue with healthy eating by learning from others if you're interested in cooking, sometimes or a lot, or enjoy the cooking of others, you're always welcome ...
