Berry's Beginnings
Beautyberries, known locally in some regions, are a vibrant, beautiful fruit! Imagine the colour as a festive burst during Diwali! They offer a unique
flavor profile. The first step, of course, is finding these beauties. Then, it's time to get cooking!
Gathering Goodies
The beautyberry jam recipe begins with the main ingredient: the berries themselves! It's also essential to have sugar, likely a staple in most Indian households. Lemon juice, for that tangy zing, and a little bit of pectin. Simple ingredients, big flavours!
Jam-Making Journey
Start by washing your beautyberries. Then, combine them with sugar and lemon juice in a pot. Let the mixture simmer. Adding pectin helps the jam set just right. The aroma filling your home is reminiscent of a sweet preparation for a festive occasion.
Jarring and Enjoying
Once your jam reaches the desired consistency, carefully pour it into sterilized jars. Seal them tightly and let them cool. After this, it's time to relish this homemade delight. Slather it on a paratha or enjoy it with a warm cup of chai.
