Black Raspberry Jam

On the weekend I made jam with black raspberries from my bush in the garden.

Following my student Makie`s advice, I used the microwave instead of a pot/pan & burner [conro]. Here is the recipe if you`re interested (& if you`re not fussy about measurements & details!):

Raspberry Jam Recipe:

1. Put raspberries, some lemon juice, & about a cup of sugar in a microwave-safe bowl
2. Cook in the microwave oven for about 10 minutes
3. Mix/mash, taste, add more sugar if necessary
4. Keep cooking & mixing till it seems ready
5. Put in bottles
6. Eat on buttered toast - yum!

Easy!

Actually, I think I should have cooked mine a bit longer, but it tastes good. Also, I left the seeds in my jam, because they`re small & not too hard, but if you`re a fussy, over-sensitive person (i.e. not from Australia), maybe you should strain the jam when you make it, to take out the seeds.

It sounds nice. Unfortunately, I don't have any black raspberries. If I would get some black raspberries, I would challenge to make the jam. Anyway, I try to make some dried vegetables as get a lot of them.
