Our plums have been the best this year! No jam though, but that sounds so good now that you mention it. ✨✨✨

They a full of natural pectin so jam is quite easy to make 😎

I make several jars of strawberry and rubarb jam, but have to add pectin. I’ll have to make a few jars of the plum one! Thanks! I never thought about plum jam.

Ooo, so jealous of all that fresh, colorful produce right in front of your eyes and nose. At least we readers can enjoy vicariously through your images. 💜

You can also check your local market for some goodies too. Thanks for your kind words 😎

For sure, but not as much happening in Oslo (the produce grown here certainly does not include peppers and the like). There is about a week where there is fresh corn sold here (otherwise you can’t find that even in grocery stores). Other than that, we do have strawberries and raspberries and blueberries and cherries in the summer (yummy — and it is fun also to forage these when out on a walk as they grow wild too), some rhubarb perhaps (but that is also in the yard), and now it’s local apple season (they are not the best varieties though). I come from the American southwest so I miss the kind of (spicier!) farm-fresh items you shared in your post so I think I have to just enjoy all the bright and varied produce you shared with us. 😃

It amazes me the bounty of beautiful foods available at these Farmers' Markets.

Feel like I’m with the two of you there. The pictures and descriptions are amazing. What is the “cat” made of - metal or ceramic. Enjoy that cool weather.

The cat is ceramic with glossy paint. Quite fun!
