How to Make Homemade Strawberry/Cherry Conserves

Back in the old days, our grandmothers, great-grandmothers and great-great-grandmothers that lived on farms (back in those days just about everybody did), always preserved the berries they grew. Sometimes our foremothers even foraged, or had the kids or grandkids forage for wild berries such as red chokeberries, clusters of wild grapes or black-blue plump raspberries to make their jams and conserves. Many women developed specialty items which they gave away as gifts or sold at roadside stands. Later on, many sold their preserved berries by mail and in gourmet shops.

The direct-from-the farm taste of these fruity delicacies were, and still are far superior to the gooey, gelatinized, sugary concoctions we buy today at the grocery store. It´s worth the trip to the neighborhood farmers market to buy some berries that are in season, and whip up a batch of jams, jellies and conserves. If you grow your own berries, so much the better! You will be doubly rewarded by not only successfully growing your own crop, but then by creating a delicious, fruity addition to your special dinner.

Conserves are an interesting twist on the normal jellies, jams and preserves that we always see in the stores. They look like jams and also have the same consistency, but are a little different. Conserves are made with a combination of two fruits, and sometimes nuts and raisons are added. They are especially good accompaniments for meat and poultry, and make a festive addition to a holiday or special occasion dinner. They are the "elite" of the jelly world.

This wonderful strawberry/cherry conserve is not only bright and beautiful to look at; it´s loaded with that delicious old-fashioned flavor. You´ll be proud to serve it with your festive dinners, or even your everyday meals.
