Capture Summer's Essence: The Joy of Jam-Making

As summer fades, September heralds the vibrant start of jam-making season, perfect for preserving the delicious flavors of fresh fruit. While winter may seem like the ideal time to whip up a batch, the best fruits are ripe and ready from May through mid-October.

Early in the season, we eagerly embrace the bounty of soft fruits, experimenting with seasonal accents like elderflower paired with rhubarb and strawberries. Cherries make versatile companions in the kitchen, while young bay leaves add depth to blackcurrant jams. The unique combination of fennel fronds and peaches creates a sweet and aromatic delight that captures summer’s essence.
