Free food & cooking tip: Set up wash, jam, salad, and juice stations (step 2 of 11 from "Jam, Fruit Salad, and Fresh Juice in One Afternoon").

Clear the counter into four zones: sink for wash, wide pot on the stove for jam, large dry bowl for salad, blender jar for juice trimmings bowl. Put a frozen plate in the freezer now — that is your jam test plate, not an afterthought.

Wash everything. Even fruit you peel — hands transfer dirt to flesh when you cut. Dry salad fruit so dressing sticks; wet grapes repel honey-lemon. Hull strawberries for jam; save a handful of the prettiest for salad if they are firm.

You'll need

  • 600 g berries weighed for jam
  • 500 g firm fruit for salad
  • Trimmings bowl started
  • Test plate in freezer
