Preserving Wild Blackberries
It's that time of year again! My favorite blackberry picking creek is busting out juicy treasure all over the place!
These are the fullest bracts of ripe berries I have ever seen. I picked upwards of a dozen ripe ones per lateral.
I enjoy wading kneedeep into the stream to harvest nodding stems loaded with the fattest blackberries!
I made them into a fruity lava blast of a crumble pie:
I couldn't help but return the following weekend to glean a bunch more berries, and preserved about 10 cups of mouthwatering jam for household use as well as holiday gifts.
Thanks be to the year-round spring which feeds Mountain Home Creek. Your blessings are resplendent! Having places to wildcraft from is integral to my homesteading. These delicious berries will make fine holiday gifts, a labor of love transforming wild foods.
