Text reads: “at some point in your life you will be boiling fruit, water, sugar, and lemon juice in a pot to make a syrup or jam. The instructions will tell you to simmer for a certain period of time. Your timer will go off and you will look at the pot and go “hm this doesn’t look thick enough, maybe I’ll let it go for another 10 minutes”. This is the devil speaking. It’s only so liquid right now because it’s at boiling point. It will thicken when it cools down. Learn from the follies of my youth and do not let this happen to you.”

    I also prefer fresh fruit, but at least around here, we dont have them year round, so I jam anything else I’m not able to feast upon during harvesting period lol
