Coming up with a father's day present for an octogenarian puts a lot of things in perspective. Techie gadgets and fancy slippers seems sort of frivolous. But the universal gift - one that makes life wonderful - is food. Specifically: jam.
Based on this recipe.
(1) Cut up rhubarb, strawberries, a lemon. Put the lemon seeds in a cheese cloth or tea ball. Squeeze the rest of the lemon juice into bowl with water and sugar. Let sit for a while.(2) Boil these things on high for a while. Stir a lot.
(3) Boil these things on low for a while. Stir a lot.
(4) While all this is happening, 'sterilize' a jar in boiling water.
(5) Put jam into jar. (Not the seeds, duh.)
(6) Process jar by boiling for another few minutes.
Happy Father's Day!
