Its tough to beat the taste of fresh produce... with one exception... FREE fresh produce... it just has better flavor ;)
I put Ethan down for a nap at my mom's yesterday and took advantage of Oregon's most bountiful weeds.. the blackberries. I dont know what it is but the berries were HUGE this year. Handfuls and handfuls of them.
Anyways, I washed and crushed my berries, and put most of them through a strainer, and made the most amazing seedless(mostly) blackberry freezer jam. It was so easy!
Just buy a box of Surejell pectin and follow the instructions on the box. And this works with pretty much any fruit. Just make sure you measure your fruit and sugar very carefully, or the jam wont thicken properly. (Had this unfortanate experience with raspberries last month. We have LOTS of raspberry syrup.)
Hope you get a chance to get out there and pick!
