Today, the heat has eased a little, but it's still summer in Germany—and it means berry season! We've already been harvesting strawberries and redcurrants from the balcony, but the berries growing directly in the garden soil are definitely more prolific. The raspberry bush left behind by the previous tenant has quietly grown taller than me, and its fruit has started turning red. At first, I thought it was a blackberry bush, so when I realized it was raspberries, I was thrilled! Blackberries grow almost everywhere in my region—well, maybe not everywhere, but they're common enough that you can even find them by the roadside. That’s why I was especially happy to have the slightly rarer raspberries in my garden.  As the neighbor had some redcurrants spilling over into my side, I took some. I decided to turn them into jam. They looked just like jewels, so I spent a moment admiring them before cooking.  The berries weighed around 130 grams. I added about 40% sugar, plus a slice’s worth of lemon juice to help it thicken, then simmered everything for about 10 minutes. The result? A hot, fresh jam—perfect spooned over ice cream. So delicious 🍨  Now I’ve got a few days' worth of jam—what shall I pair it with? The classic toast + butter + jam combo? Yogurt and jam? Cheesecake with jam on top? Just thinking about it makes me smile. Blackberry season is right around the corner too, so I’m looking forward to harvesting more berries from the garden and enjoying our annual berry hunts! Have a nice start of the week, everyone ☺️ --- 今日は比較的暑さが落ち着いていますが、ドイツも夏、ベリーのシーズンです。これまでもバルコニーでいちごやヨハネスベリーが取れていましたが、やっぱり庭の地植えのベリーはモリモリなりますね。 以前の借主のラズベリーがいつの間にか私の背丈を超えて、実が赤くなり始めました。最初はブラックベリーだと思っていたら、ラズベリーで、やったー！と。というのもブラックベリーはそこらじゅうに・・・とまでは言わないものの、あちこちに生えていて路上でもゲットできるので、ちょっとレアなラズベリーがうれしいのでした。  お隣さんからはみ出ていたヨハネスベリーをいただいて、ジャムにすることに。なんというかもう宝石のようで、調理前にしばし眺めていたのでした。  ベリーの量を測ってみると130gほど。30-40%ほど砂糖を加えて、とろみが出るようにレモン汁をレモン一切れ分加えて、10分ほど火にかけてできあがり。そしてまだ熱々のジャムをアイスにかけて、ああおいしい。  向こう数日分のジャムができたのでどうやって楽しもうかな。定番のトースト＋バター＋ジャム、ヨーグルト＋ジャム、チーズケーキとジャム・・・あれこれ考えるとニヤついてしまいます。 これからブラックベリーのシーズンもくるので、しばらくベリーの収穫と、毎年恒例のベリーハントも楽しもうと思います！
