Jammed Out
We've finished our 2nd to last jam, a Raspberry from 5 pounds of wild raspberries collected in the forest. Others this year include: Peach and Orange (mentioned in the previous post), Orange and Dandelion marmalade (making use of our spring collected Dandelion harvest), Strawberry and Peach and finally Strawberry, Apple and Rhubarb. The only one left will be Gooseberry and something, our Gooseberries are nearly ready and the forest ones are already harvested.
Super Simple Raspberry Jam Recipe
Could not be easier…
5lb Raspberries
5 cups Sugar
Wash and destem the berries. Sugar is 1 cup to each pound of Raspberry. Boil berries until rolling (2-3 min.), add and stir in sugar and bring back to the boil for about 10 min. Jam is ready to canned when you can place a blob on a cold plate and run your finger through it and the parting remains. We threw in our meger harvest of 20 sour cherrieswe had growing ;)
