Berries stories :

My little daughter, who is very fond of her cartoon characters, one day, demanded for berries and  cream, for she saw that her favorite cartoon character loved berries with cream and she too wanted to eat it. I warned her once that it wont be very sweet and few might even be sour. But, will kids ever listen to us ??? Also, considering that berries are good for health too, I quickly got her some berries from the market. But, As expected, she didn’t have it, except for the strawberries. Not all berries are sweet or bland in taste that can be had as is (or at least I am not used to having it directly). Then came the idea, why not make a jam out of it ??? And here we go!!!
