Sweet mail from Sasha — the highlight of my week! I love that girl so much (can you tell?!), it’s hard for me to be away from her for so long. I unpacked two jars of her epic preserves (strawberry + chamomile, plum + cardamom!), and one of her hand-sewn eyes, stuffed with hops, lavender and chamomile. Such a beautiful object, I know I’ll keep it forever. The jam however, forget it. I cracked open the strawberry jam the next morning with Adam, and we downed a third of the jar. We ate huge spoonfuls of its delicious nectar, spread on toasted kamut bread with hazelnut butter. So it’s like, she’s not here, true, but parts of her are here, also, somehow. That’s enough. For now!
Thank you thank you thank you Sasha, for your sweet generosity and thoughtfulness!
you better visit this summer, we can make more and you can take it back to canada:) those jars are too small, easy to use the whole jar in one or 2 sittings.
XOOOOOhh
yesss, i am totally going to visit this summer for a long long weekend of canning and pickling and saucing…. !! i live for your jam, i like how loose and pure-tasting it is. not too sweet, with big discernible chunks of fruit throughout. (my favorite way to have it)
