Blackberry and Apple Jam

 It is that time of year again, the time for making use of free pickings and offerings from friends with surplus apples.  



From an old apple orchard same brambly apples, and half an hour walk with a little picking of blackberries along the field edges, this old traditional autumn preserve our grannies must have made will be absolutely delicious cine the winter months. I've picked blackberries without fail each year, and hardly saw anyone doing the same.  It is a different story this year, and it is lovely to see whole families some with young children indulge in such a simple pastime. Yes it is most probably out of necessity, but hopefully at the same time, new and family traditions will be built.

    Sounds lovely! I have made 6 jars of plum jam, seasoned with pink peppar. Very tasty!

    Yummy! My first experience of blackberry picking was as a small child with my family Noelle but himself being a city child never experienced it until later in life. We picked some when we last visited the caravan and enjoyed a blackberry and apple crumble. We've just made some damson jam and still have a jar from last year's batch to enjoy first 😂
