Raspberry jam
Description
A simple way to make preserves ahead of time. It is worth noting that raspberry jam, if properly prepared and sealed in jars, can be stored for a couple of years. If you picked raspberries in the forest yourself, don't forget to gather and dry some raspberry twigs as well. Raspberry jam and an infusion made from raspberry branches are among the best remedies for the common cold. As you can see, making jam is quite easy (to the delight of all sweet tooths!). The main thing is to wash everything thoroughly and sterilize it. Store in a cool, dark place.
