Mulberry-Banana-Kumquat Jam
Mulberry-Banana-Kumquat Jam

Sunlight-kissed mulberries, plump and stained, plucked straight from the vine,
Mingle with sunshine-ripened bananas, their sweetness like a golden line.
Kumquats, citrus jewels bursting with tang, two sun-soaked varieties entwined,
Whispering stories of distant lands, their flavors on summer winds defined.

In my daughter's hands, a symphony ignites, a dance of tastes on simmering heat.
The berries bleed their blush, the bananas soften, their creaminess bittersweet.
Kumquats release their sharp embrace, a vibrant counterpoint complete.



Spoonfuls of sunshine, captured in glass, a harmony both tart and sweet.
A taste of summer's bounty held, a love story nature cannot keep.
More than just jam, it's a whispered song, a memory preserved, so deep.

So spread it on fresh-baked bread, let the flavors bloom upon your tongue.
A testament to earth's bounty, the love a daughter has spun.
