Luckily, I was not carried away by the beauty of these precious little pearls; too much can easily result with bitter flavours when making strawberry jam so please take care of the ratio:

The garden we gathered in, is absolutely amazing with fig, jasmine, flamenco and maidenhair trees, especially attractive and inviting in late spring :

It was cloudy but warm and the day out after what we have been through was an absolutely healing experience with friends, music, food and wine.

Do you know the differences between jelly, jam, preserve, fruit spread and butter?

Here are some short explanations:

Jelly is made of strained fruit juice. There are no chopped fruits in it.

Jam is made of mashed fruit.

Preserves has whole fruit in it.  You may also find large pieces of fruit in preserves.

Fruit spread has no extra sugar added. During preparation, you may add apple juice, for instance. Have in mind these are not sugar free since fruits has a certain percentage of sugar.

Fruit butter is made from fruit puree. Nothing else is added. It is up to your choice to add sugar to taste to your butter. We don’t. Fruit butters are dark in most of the cases since they slowly boil for 5 or more hours, without citrus juice.
