Pinecone jam isn’t really a jam at all, but a thick sugar syrup with well-cooked baby pine cones. It’s more like pine cone honey, with floral notes and a slightly resinous finish. A traditional Caucasian and Russian way to enjoy them is as a medicinal spoonful stirred into hot black tea. In the eastern European regions this jam hails from, it’s treated as a health tonic, not just a condiment. Similar to elderberry syrup, a spoonful or two a day helps to boost the immune system.
