Pouring with rain yesterday so it seemed like a good time to get stuck in in the kitchen. Made 12 jars of Bramble Jelly with a load of blackberries foraged whilst camping last weekend. Not bad for an hours foraging.

I was expecting a heavy crop of Blackberries, but they were only out in force for a week and then puttered out to níl...oh well. Now I'm eagerly anticipating the Autumn Olives (Elaeagnus umbellata) in October - you can gather the berries by the pound in minutes.

Haven't had this in years we used to have a wild berry patch going back when I was a kid. Made a day of gathering berries though thinking I ate way more the. Anyways my grandmother would make loads of fresh homemade pies damn I miss that

My brother hoards the stuff...can't really blame him, since he did pretty much all of the harvesting and preparing himself. My methods are quicker and simpler, which is why I prefer fruit leathers and dehydrated foods over canning and jellies.Lmao and you didn't bring any of this with ya buddy?

Love bramble jelly and jam.
Every year for the last fifteen, I have made at least 20 jars to keep the missus going throughout the year for her morning toast. Its been one of the best years I can ever remember down here in Cornwall for blackberries and I'm hoping to get a few more before they dissapear.
Top job. My wife made some from my little collection effort. Unfortunately I cannot help myself eating a few whilst collecting. Or is it collecting a few whilst I ravage the hedge!
