You can actually spread it on toast because the pine cones are soft and tiny. I can’t do that because of diabetes but I ate a couple of little cones and they are so good. A very unusual taste.
Nope, but my wife made spruce jelly for Christmas get togethers. And I used it making beer until I rescued some pilsner style hops escaped from some long gone Eastern European coal miner ;-D
You must have bought this at Global. My God that place will sell anything, like bull pizzle. Maybe you should try the balut, no just kidding don’t. I try to avoid that store as I prefer the company of white people ; )
OK, eew to the balut but that place is sacred to me bull pizzle notwithstanding. And yes, that’s where the jam comes from. I was trying to honor my husband’s culture with it, which started a long discussion about how he’s European and the jam is Asian and what’s located beyond the Urals and so on.

“every tried pine cone jam?”
Had no idea it was a real thing…. I had assumed it was more like the pine cone “elixir” I’ve gotten in Bulgaria (more like a very thick syrup).
There’s a chain of Ukrainian food markets now in Poland (called Ukrainoczka)… maybe they’ll have it?
