Berlin farmlab
En route to Finland I made time to make jam with Valentina Karga of Berlin farmlab. Together with collective cooking revolutionaries Emal, Susie and Helena, we picked plentiful apples and elderberries from some neighbourhood trees and then set about making (up) elderberry jam and apple chutney. Valentina’s outdoor kitchen-garden – where she’s just finished a 30-day experiment in living on only what she can grow or trade – served us very nicely, and jars were filled, more or less sealed, and labelled. Look out ‘Public Apple Riot Nomad Melange’!
