But aren't you cuuuurious? And you could get a thousand dollars, couldn't you? It would be worth it, wouldn't it? To know? To taste the jam? And wouldn't it be sweeter for the recklessness? The indulgence?
My coworker is not over the pinecone. "Why did I have two? They tasted like pinecones. I think about them a lot. I think about the texture of the pincecone."
I once spent 5 hours getting the pips out of half a pound of redcurrants to make Gloria Swanson's Bar-Le-Duc. It was worth it too, as I won second prize in a Women's Institute jam competition. The recipe is here should you wish to while away an afternoon with a goose quill. https://www.silverscreensuppers.com/gloria-swanson/gloria-swansons-bar-le-duc-2
I immediately forwarded this to my boyfriend with the commentary "CHRISTMAS BIRTHDAY CHRISTMAS BIRTHDAY"

Update: broke up with boyfriend; buying myself the jams. "trying a pinecone" now a ritual at the office.
It's months later and I gotta know how the jams were

Thank you so much
I looked up videos of the pinecone jam. There are just....entire pinecones in it. Fascinating.
They're softened and heavily sweetened and otherwise the experience is exactly as you might imagine.
I think I have to buy a jar of this stupid pinecone jam
I felt that way after making pine needle tea out camping one night. "Ah. Exactly what I suppose hot pine needle water might taste like."
