Blackberries
We have gaggles of wild blackberry bushes all over the property and it's time to pick! We will have a couple weekends to harvest before they go bad. Time is of the essence. We buy all three sizes of Ball jars in order to store and freeze. Even if we pick a small bowl-full, we take the time to put a pot on the stove to boil and add sugar and make jam. We will do this all summer with a host of veggies and fruit. However, don't do what I do and go picking with just tee shirt, shorts and flip flops on. You will come back to the house a bloody mess like me. Make sure you wear gloves, long pants, and a long sleeve shirt. The thorns are small but deadly. However, we will have our own jam all winter.
