Rewild your jam!

I know it's getting a bit chilly, but let's go out for a walk. The trees are turning golden red and brown. There is so much beauty to see, so much goodness to forage! And think what we could make out of it!
A jam, for example. A forest jam. Simple and delicious. If you're lucky, you can find everything you need outside.

I did. :) Small apples, a bit sour, but still very nice. Pears, almost too sweet and juicy. And of course, those little jewels I've been looking for - rosehips, elderberries and black cherries. They are not only delicious, but also have properties that make them amazing for our health. Tons of antioxidants and vitamins! And don't forget about their anti-inflammatory properties! So why not keeping some of them for the dark wintery months?

Forest jams

Rosehip-apple
one part of rosehip
one part of chopped apples
sweetener of your choice (I used just a little bit of date paste, as the fruit was sweet enough)

Elderberry-pear
one part of elderberries (stemmed!)
two parts of chopped pears
sweetener of your choice

 Black cherry- apple 

one part of black cherries
one part chopped apples
sweetener of your choice

Now all you need to do is to wash your wild fruit of choice, remove all the stems and cook them slowly with a splash of water. When they are cooked, blend them with a little bit of water and pour through a fine sieve to remove the pits. Then add them to your apples or pears and cook until they have a desired consistency. Pour into sterilized jars. Eat within several days or boil your jars for 10-20 minutes to preserve them.
