Burdock Jam

Two summers ago I went on a burdock stem experiment spree...I took the stems
from first year plants and cooked them in water with a pinch of soda for 20
minutes...some I added diced onions, tomatoes and peppers to and made salsa
from...it was pretty green but tasted good...no complaints from the family
anyway...some of it I made into jam...I took 4 cups cooked stem and added 4
cups sugar and one box commercial pectin...I brought that to a boil and
sealed in jars...it is pretty good as a jam...but again...very green...so I
think the idea of hiding it in bread is a hot tip...
Remember...you can make jam or jelly out of about anything...just depends on
how weird you want to get.
