Blackberry Fuchsia Jam

Blackberry

Gracia picked the last of the blackberries…

Fuchsia

…and a big basketful of Fuchsia flowers.

Jam

The human boiled them up, added equal weight of sugar and potted up the jam.

.

Bread and Jam

Gracia was carved in Argentina (where the Fuchsia grows wild), and lives in Canada (where the Blackberry has naturalised itself)… so Blackberry Fuchsia is a sweet acknowledgement of both places as well as a delicious Jam!

The aroma must have been wonderful! The eating will be, too…Those cute little jam pots – where do they come from? Reduce, re-use, recycle?

  The little pots are formerly yoghurt containers! They are perfect petit pots for small amounts of jam!

  Really tasty jam – we always like to mix blackberry with something to dilute the seedy texture.

have never heard of adding fuschia blossoms to a jam recipe. How lovely! Gracia looks quite busy and competent.

  Fuchsia berries are good too, but they seem to ripen serially and never seem to be enough ready at once to make much jam.

How lovely. I didn’t know you could add fuchsia to jams.
