Such jams as strawberry, raspberry, black-currant, cherry and even melon are wide spread. Everybody knows them and I think everybody tasted them. I'd like to suggest you some recipes of unusual jams. My granny is really specialist in making jams, she shared with me these recipes.

Yellow Plums Jam

You need 1 kg plums, 1.5 kg sugar, 2 glasses water. Wash not so ripe plums, pierce them in several places and put in a pot, add there syrup and leave for 24 hours. Then pour the syrup out from the pot, boil, add to plums and leave for 24 hours more. Cook plums until ready on the third day. So, plums will be whole and syrup transparent.

Rose Hip Jam

You can bake very delicious rolls with this jam, you can add it to creams, cakes, tea, etc. Gather petals, wash and throw in colander. Then put them in the pot (1 glass sugar for 2 glasses petals) and grind with your hand until petals become soft. Put petals in jam-jars, cover and keep in a cold place.
