Recipe
Ingredients: * Cape gooseberries (250g, pureed) * Sugar (100g) * Lemon juice (1 Tbsp) * Cloves (2)
Instructions: 1. In a pan, add the cape gooseberry puree, cloves, and sugar. 2. Cook until it comes to the desired consistency. 3. Add the lemon juice and mix well. 4. Once cool, store in clean, airtight bottles in the fridge.
Cooking Tips: * If you like your jam a little more sweet, increase the sugar quantity to about 125 grams. * At the beginning, you can leave it on simmer and go do other things. Once it starts to thicken, you want to be with it all the time and stir it continuously so that you don't miss the desired consistency. * To test if the jam is done, put a drop on a clean, cool plate. If no water droplets come out, the jam is done.
Architecture Tip
Green always adds a lot of life to any interiors. But it is not always possible to keep potted plants inside the house. For that, you can keep either green leafy plants which survive in water, like money plant, or succulents. These add so much to the interior spaces.
