raspberries are marvellous. Love raspberry and apple pie, love raspberry jam, just love these little taste powered zingy berries.
Raspberry jam is special. Always loved the stuff. My Scottish Granny made the best raspberry jam with a taste so evocative, I can close my eyes, and I am transported to her house, aged about 7, having Danish toaster white toast with butter and her homemade jam for breakfast with 'grown up' tea.
I want my children to love raspberry jam and relish that moment of bliss. So it's with some shock they won't touch some amazing raspberry jam I've bought. It's got pips in- are they seeds or pips. Anyway I call them pips.
In a 'too much time on my hands-not' moment, I de-seeded. I emptied the jam into a Pyrex jug, melted the jam in the microwave, sieved it, boiled it to resterilise it, and re potted it in the newly sterilised jar.
And huzzah!
Seedless raspberry jam. Whether my little darlings eat it is another matter, but I give myself a pat on the back for at least trying.
