I have a lot of summer fruit at the moment and was wondering if anyone had any recipes for preserves. After eating to excess we always make jam but I'm interested in Kompot recipes or any other ways to save fruit. Anything involving Gooseberries would be greatly welcome. Here’s hoping and thank you.

Mash up the fruit. Throw in a couple of cups of sugar and boil it all. Put the hot mass into jars and seal them with lids. Cool. You now have jam in airtight jars!

Even if it's not typical Polish, you can make squash/cordial. Home-made tastes much better.

polishmeknob I make a lot of jam for myself and also to give when visiting. Are there any combinations that you would recommend? SzwedwPolsce: squash/cordial This sounds good. Thank you

Try elderberry and apple.

Try powidlo - cook fruit (traditionally plums, but you can do it with apples) over a very low heat with a little water (no sugar) stirring frequently, until thick and a spoon dragged through it leaves a valley.

jonni: elderberry and apple Luckily I have access to both so will give the combo a go in autumn thanks. I haven’t tried these together as the elderberries usually go into wine. Apples and pears make a better wine a lot less acidic. inkrakow: powidlo Plum Butter? I may try this in autumn with Damsons. Thank you:)

OK I'm going to pick a lot of plums today and I intend to make plum butter. The plums that are ripe are Victoria a dessert plum hopefully they will work. The problem is that sugar is used to both sweeten and help preserve the fruit but Victoria plums are very sweet so don’t need sugar. It’s a long shot but does anyone know if I will have to freeze this butter or will it keep without.

Polish Preserves, any recipes? I'm in search of a Polish rose jam preserve recipe. My Great-Aunt Janka makes the jam from roses, grown in her Polish garden. She wouldn't give me the recipe. She says the recipe can only be successful, by using authentic Polish roses!!! A sincere thanks PF, for putting up with me FIVE terrific years, muah!
