Jam making ritual recipe

Passing down family recipes and cooking skills to younger generations creates strong bonds and lasting memories. When you make food together as a family, it helps everyone live in the present moment – and preserving fruits is also a great way to avoid food waste! Turning the season’s excess into something you can enjoy for months to come. 

 

  • First, preserve your clothing with an apron. Next, put all the necessary cooking tools on the kitchen counter. 
  • Fill bowls with your favorite fruits that are in season. 
  • Use a wide pot to cook the recipe. Put the children on stirring duty with some balloon whisks – and adult supervision.
  • Once it’s done, separate the preserves into small jars. Share the love, save a lot and gift a few decorated jars.

Just add water, sugar, and a lot of love

Put the fruit in an IKEA 365+ pot and stir it with a KONCIS balloon whisk until the preserve is ready to be poured into KORKEN jars – where it (and the memories) will last for a long time.
