Jam Session! (A Recipe)


You could make some jam if you wanted to. You could do it like this:

Step 1: Pick some berries, like the ones in the picture.
Step 2: Make sure there are 1,250 grams of berries, or, you know, whatever kind of fruit you want.
Step 3: Go to the store and buy sugar with pectin. It's pretty easy to find, and generally comes in convenient little sachets. You'll need 500 grams.
Step 4: Put the berries and sugar pectin together in a pot. Heat until boiling, which doesn't take very long (sometimes as little as a minute!).


Step 5: Put the mixture in a VERY CLEAN glass jar. The jar should always be warm, lest you pour steaming hot jam into a cold glass jar that proceeds to break and splatter boiling berries all over your naked feet. Not fun.
Step 6: Put the jar upside down. Leave it alone for a while. You could go to sleep, even. 
Step 7: Wake up; it's morning. Slice some bread and put your delicious jam on it. Yay!
