A deep crimson jam that balances the tart taste of hawthorn, which grows naturally in rural areas, with sugar. A little-known but deep-rooted tradition, this jam adds a different flavor to breakfast tables.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Boil the medlars

25 min

Wash the hawthorns and boil in water until soft.

2

Extract the pulp

20 min

Pass the boiled hawthorns through a strainer to remove the pits and extract the pulp.

3

Simmer with sugar

25 min

Cook the resulting pulp together with sugar and water over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens.

4

Thicken and jar

10 min

Add the lemon juice and boil for a few more minutes. Important: check the consistency by dripping some onto a plate; fill sterilized jars while boiling hot and seal them.

Reminder

Important: Removing the small, hard pit from hawthorn takes time; lightly boiling the fruit and passing it through a sieve makes the job easier. Contains no flour, milk, or eggs; it is plant-based and gluten-free. Fill sterilized jars with the boiling jam and store in a cool, dark place.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

If you pick the hawthorn before it's fully ripe, the jam turns out more tart; you can increase the sugar to taste. A pinch of cinnamon adds a warm aroma to the jam.
