When I am busy with deadlines and projects, this is when I try to steal time to preserve.<br>Follow me to explore my mum’s pantry and my grandma’s memories, a walk through the best summer preserves, from tomato sauce to blackberry jam.<br><br>Recipes mentioned in this episode:<br><br>- Passata di pomodoro, tomato purée: <a href="https://en.julskitchen.com/preserves/tomato-puree-or-as-we-call-it-the-preserve" rel="noopener">https://en.julskitchen.com/preserves/tomato-puree-or-as-we-call-it-the-preserve</a> <br>- Pomarola, tomato sauce: <a href="https://en.julskitchen.com/preserves/pomarola-italian-tomato-sauce" rel="noopener">https://en.julskitchen.com/preserves/pomarola-italian-tomato-sauce</a> <br>- Concentrato di pomodoro, tomato paste: <a href="https://en.julskitchen.com/preserves/tomato-paste" rel="noopener">https://en.julskitchen.com/preserves/tomato-paste</a><br>- Apple and blackberry jam: <a href="https://en.julskitchen.com/preserves/apple-and-blackberry-jam" rel="noopener">https://en.julskitchen.com/preserves/apple-and-blackberry-jam</a> <br>- Apricot jam: <a href="https://en.julskitchen.com/preserves/apricot-jam" rel="noopener">https://en.julskitchen.com/preserves/apricot-jam</a> <br>- Harvest jam: <a href="https://en.julskitchen.com/preserves/grape-harvest-and-september-jam" rel="noopener">https://en.julskitchen.com/preserves/grape-harvest-and-september-jam</a> <br>- Blueberry jam: <a href="https://en.julskitchen.com/dessert/cakes-pies/recipes-with-blueberries" rel="noopener">https://en.julskitchen.com/dessert/cakes-pies/recipes-with-blueberries</a><br>- Spicy tomato jam: <a href="https://en.julskitchen.com/preserves/spicy-tomato-jam-for-cheese" rel="noopener">https://en.julskitchen.com/preserves/spicy-tomato-jam-for-cheese</a> <br>- Pickled cauliflower: <a href="https://en.julskitchen.com/preserves/home-made-holiday-food-gifts" rel="noopener">https://en.julskitchen.com/preserves/home-made-holiday-food-gifts</a> <br>- Minestrone from scratch: <a href="https://en.julskitchen.com/first-course/soup/minestrone-from-scratch" rel="noopener">https://en.julskitchen.com/first-course/soup/minestrone-from-scratch</a> <br><br>I’d love to hear from you: Which is your relationship with preserving?
