Still eating all the blackberry and apple jam I made last year (bumper year round here) but will probably make some more even if just as pressies. Don't like jellies much, too slimy without any texture so save myself having to sieve and don't waste any of the yummy fruit dither.
Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
I've just picked 2lb of blackberries from behind our garage so its bramble jelly time for me. I'll leave them till tomorrow soaking in salt water, up to yet only spotted one worm floating.
There's less problem with setting if you add crab apple juice. Sadly, the crab apples and the blackberries don't come ripe together! I fished a bag of crabs out of the freezer yesterday and added them to the brambles. Wonderful - and the flavours go so well.
