Russia is home to a vast number of people from different nationalities and faiths. Despite our differences, we treat each other with respect.

🔵However, every summer (regardless of the region in our vast and beautiful country, religion, gender, or nationality), a number of Russians traditionally divide themselves into two irreconcilably hostile categories:

Category 📝: те, кому жарко (those who are hot) with the air-conditioning off
and
Category 📝: те, кому дует (those who are drafty) with air-conditioning on.

🔵These particularly "bloody" battles unfold in air-conditioned offices.

🔵The struggle to "neutralize the icy air conditioning" against "creating an optimally cool temperature for brain function" continues until autumn, when the warring parties, breathing a sigh of relief, and unite to fight off autumnal depression, lovingly supporting each other with ginger tea and homemade pies.

❓Which category do you belong to?

​​🔵Admit it, when you hear "Варенье из сосновых шишек" (pine cone jam), you probably imagine a bleak picture of Russia's crumbling economy with its people resorting to foraging for pine cones for sustenance.

🔵You've already heard of "кротовуха" (a strong alcohol infusion made with mole) and "медвежжуха" (a modern take on "медовуха" - an ancient, low-alcohol beverage). And somewhere in the back of your mind, there's also a vague notion of 'Суп с котом' (а cat soup). Now, pine cone jam!

🔵For those of you planning a trip or even a move to Russia, it might be time to reconsider.

🔵Just kidding! Come on over! Tasting this unusual jam is not a mandatory requirement for getting a tourist visa or a residence permit. Unless, of course, you want to try this delightful treat yourself!

🔵So, this jam made from young (green) pine cones is not only incredibly sweet with a refined smoky aroma and flavour (I can say that as someone who has eaten more than one jar of this jam!), but it's also packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.

🔵If you don't have a set of "spare jaws" for chewing hard things, don't worry - the pine cones in the jam are actually soft and easily break apart with a fork.

🔵The only downside to this jam, from my humble perspective, is its overly sweet taste. But with ice cream or pancakes, it's absolutely delicious!

🔵I've seen this jam sold in foreign online stores (like RussianfoodUSA or Amazon). Don't miss out on the chance to get to know Russian cuisine better and embrace the Russian spirit!
