Homemade Blueberry Marmalade

Written by Published on Updated on May 31, 2019 in Uncategorized

Hi everyone, hope all is good!!!  Yesterday, was the Children’s Cooking Workshop that I had mentioned a while back and what can I say except that it was wonderful…:) I had decided on making Chicken Soulvaki with Peta Bread and Greek Salad.  I arrived around 10:00 am, and that gave me more than enough time to prepare  the Chicken Souvlaki.  🙂 The children were  fantastic they helped out in every way they could by cutting the Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Peppers and finally topping the salad with Feta Cheese.  It was an all around lovely day with much fun and laughter. 

I did get back rather late so I needed to work on the recipe for today, and so since summer is coming to an end for most around the world…Schools will start in a few weeks, others are coming back from vacationing, 🙁  I thought what better way to start off this morning with this delicious Blueberry Marmalade on my toast.  A lovely start in the morning is always the first meal of the day and I am a firm believer that Breakfast is very important.  If you love Blueberries try out this very simple recipe and let me know what you think!!!

P.S.  I will now be able to catch up with everyones posts.  🙂

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie

    This year I have done the Raspberry Marmalade but that's a nice one too and for sure will keep in mind for next year. Conserves are always welcome in my house.

    I am so glad you had fun with the kids! Also, just saw your question about the recipe development. Sorry 😞, did you get an answer from the other group? I am not sure how much one charges for that!

    I've never made blueberry marmalade before - it looks so tasty! Did you have to add any pectin or was there enough in the lemon juice and jam sugar?
