Cucumber Jam
Description
Perfect for stocking up for winter. Cucumber jam can be made from cucumbers of any size, which is very handy—you can use slightly overripe, large cucumbers that are no longer good for eating fresh. I like to add citrus and spices so the cucumber jam isn’t too bland. You can pair cucumbers with any fruits and berries; I highly recommend trying it with red currants. Read on. Serve at the table or store in the pantry.
