Una ciliegia tira l’altra
In Italy, May is the time for cherries. Not only are these small, red fruits pretty because of their round shape and colors, they are also rich in important vitamins.
The best way to try them? Climb up a tree, snatch them from the branch and eat them one by one, which is why, from all of the idioms we have in Italian that use the word ‘cherry,’ we have chosen “Una cilegia tira l’altra.”
This expression is used to talk about an action that leads to another, one after the other, that you are unable to stop.
Just like when you start eating cherries, and it is difficult to stop yourself.
The recipe we have chosen to best sample this fruit is jam, perfect for spreading on a slice of bread for breakfast or as an ingredient in a delicious homemade tart.
Let’s go and find out together how to make our cherry jam.
