not always the same jam anymore!


During my time away from working
waiting to walk again 
I had more spare time for me
among other things, I tried to do new experiments in cooking
at least new to me.

Strawberry time is almost gone in Sicily
why not to try to make strawberry jam?
My mother had ALWAYS made ONLY Queens apple jam for years!


I  used rigorously organic strawberries
brown sugar
and lemons from my beloved lemon tree!

 


it was quite simple!

you need :
500gr of strawberries
400 gr of brown sugar
the juice of one lemon
the grated peel of the  lemon 


cook together the all ingredients
till they reach the right consistency
 

then pour the hot jam into hot glass jars
previously heated in the hoven to sterilize them
then keep  the jars upside down for a while
and then if you want to preserve your jam for a longer time
keep the jars  in boiling water for about 30 minutes



Try also 
another variety with :

500 gr strawberries
5oo gr apples
400 gr brown sugar
15 leaves of fresh mint

Busulmona: like Heaven!

Busulmona : XIXth  century farmhouse, once property of the  Cavaliere Sessa, today run by the family Di Pino. 5 km far from Noto it is immersed in a wonderful almond grove and carobs olives and all the colours of nature   make of this piece of Sicily a true paradise! It works as a B&B at the moment with only two bedroom, but it's also possible to have lunch tasting olive oil and almonds and wathever  what rigorously the family produce and cook for you!  Tranquillity, harmony, genuinity.. this are the things coming to my mind when I was there The name Busulmona , which is the name of all that area,comes from the Arabic and means the land of sun....  an extraordinary view  from the stone terrace on the Val di Noto, from Noto to Vendicari and Marzamemi... . for further information : www.busulmona.com

Back to school!

I'm exausted! In these days students are coming back to school In a book shop I saw this lovely school agenda...( Il Diario ) TO choose the new diario was a nice thing to do with my friends. Everybody, among girls, was curios to see the others' agenda and then, through the school year fill it with drawings, puzzles of photoes, phrases, songs ...and homework (sometimes)  as well. If I were still at school, i think this would be my agenda!!!
