Want to make some jam? Ok, so you’ll have to climb that ladder to pick the fruit on the tree, invest in a very expensive copper basin, fix meters of shelves for storing pots… Stop the stereotypes! You can make jam all year long with fruit from the market, a pan, and just a few jars. Here’s the proof by this ridiculously simple recipe:
