Yesterday I made these delicacies for winter days,when we are short of these fine fruits.
I prepare jam on a very easy way:I count 650g sugar for each kilogram of fruit,put layers in a large vessel,and sugar on each layer.It have to stay for a day in that sugar,and have to be stired a few times.After 24 hours,we filter the fruit,and make syrop from the juice and jam from the pulp.(I boil the jam about 25 minutes on a very low heat.After it's ready to be measured into bottles,but cover just after 1 or 2 days.)

Hi Monika
i willbe glade to visit your country oneday inshallah
to visit the wood too ..i feel that you are lucky because your country has woods...to get wild plants ..mine is a mountainous ...almost fulls of olive trees.
ps.do you know what does Mashallah mean?(here)
mashallah =God bless your work or your food ....God bless (something)
Thank you dear Dedene for your appreciation.
You won't believe it,but we gathered all of it in the nearby forest.:D
So imagine,it's wild raspberry,and even more tasty than the one from the garden.:)
(Here there is a huge hillside full of rasperries,my father discovered it last year,when he was surching for boletus.
This year we gathered ca.20 liters so far,I put in the fridge too a good amount from them.It is still ripening now,so we will go back.It's a fairly hard work,but worth the "weariness"!
Actually it always grows on the place of completly cutten hillside,but just in case these woods were beech.-Hope you will understand this sentence.)
I'll take a photo of it for you,because I know it must sound strange...lol...

You must have a huge raspberry patch! How many kilos of fruit did you grow this year? Your jam and syrup look very good.
Hi dear Rose,
You are right,both the jam and the syrop has a magnificient taste!
Very refreshing with soda water,or with ice cubes and water...mmmm...yummy!
No,I made more,just for the sake of the picture I put 2 bottles of syrop and 2 jars of jam there.:))
By the way,-as we are a syrop loving family-I'm still making syrop according to another method,but it's a little more complicated,and requires more work,but the final result is as delicious as by the above mentioned method.
(I squash the fruit in a big 5l bottle,
and dispose to the sunshine for 5-6 days.After,-at the end of the 6th day -you have to filter thorouhly-it's the difficult part of it:)-than measure 1kg of sugar to each litre of the juice,and let boil for 8-10 minutes,than put to bottles.)
Thank you for your comment.

You know the saying:Practice makes perfect!...(it's true even in kitchen!)
Cheers!))
I found the meaning of the word brackish in my dictionary as the following=somewhat salty,or having an unpleasant taste,nauseating
Next time rather leave it to your Mum,it's not a man's job to do it,isn't it?
