Hello Mummy,
yesterday I helped hostmum and her friend making jam. First we had to pick the fruits: redcurrants, blackcurrants and gooseberries. Then the berries had to be cranked through a very old mincer hostmum had inherited from her grandma. Hostmum and her friend were very happy to be helped by such a strong bear, because cranking is strenuous!
After that the mashed fruits were cooked together with sugar, something for jelling and, imagine, rum and wine!
Hostmum and me washed out the jars with hot water, then the jam was filled in, the jars were closed and turned round.
Ready! And yummy!!!
