Blackberries are coming into season. These are volunteers so they are a touch on the astringent side, not great for raw eating. Sugar helps cut that so last year I made a lot of blackberry jam. I probably have enough to get through this year so I’m looking for alternative ideas for long term storage. If not I’ll make more jam.

This year won’t be a big harvest as we cut down so much last year. This means there won’t be enough to make wine.

    Lol no worries mostly just having some fun.

    I grew up on 5 acres and they are such an invasive species. There was an awesome story on the Internet years ago about the Pacific North West Himalayan blackberry wars. Whoever wrote that story did it like a war journal. It was excellent for someone who had to fetch toys that ended up in the black berry bushes
