Jam van zelf geplukt fruit

Along the side of the road you often see signs for ‘pick your own fruit’ or ‘vegetables for sale’. Stop awhile! Walk through the orchard or along the rows of plants, smell the ripe fruit. Fruit cultivation farms offer you the opportunity to pick your own fruit too. A few kilos of apple or pears keep well for weeks, but soft fruits such as strawberry’s, raspberry’s, currants and blackberry are best eaten at once. Or if you pick a few kilos nothing is nicer than home made jam. It used to take ages to produce a few jars hours of stirring over a hot stove, nowadays you can make your own very quickly. Using special sugar which contains the pectin needed.
So get picking!
