Blackpowder Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 This year the bramble or blackberry bushes seemed to fruit a month early. Tied up with other dealings for the past two weeks I though well its all over- missed it. Not so today my partner and I went to a productive site and had almost 3 kilos in an hours picking. A lot were overripe and falling from the branches and had I not forgotten the crooked stick we could have had that amount in 100 yards.

aris Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 What are you gonna do with them? Heh, this is from several weeks ago - I ate them raw. The wild ones are a bit seedy, but still quite sweet. In previous years we made jam from them. We got a lovely little device in France several years ago which filters out the seeds which makes it much more palatable. 3 kilos of blackberries with some apples for the pectin (also wild - picked free) makes a fair bit of jam. We didn't make any this year as we still have loads left from last year - there is only so much jam you can eat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 I think I'll possibly make some jam myself. Must get out & get picking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
