Hi Mummy,

a new guest arrived today, it's Henrik from Finland.



Poor guy, the weather is driving us crazy. It's raining, raining, raining ....

Today we cooked strawberry jam. Katja bought strawberries and gelling sugar. A few empty jars were also ready.



After washing the strawberries Henrik and I helped to cut the strawberries into small pieces.



Than the strawberries were mixed with the gelling sugar. A piece of vanilla bean was also added.



We waited some minutes until the sugar was soaked with fruit juice.



Than this mass had to boil for some minutes.



The jam was filled into jars. They have  to cool down upside-down to generate a vacuum. This would be important to cure it for longer storage.



In the end we had five jars of delicious strawberry jam



Bye
Jango
