The blackberries were looking abundant and tasty at our allotment and this year we were determined not to waste them to the birds.
So with the anticipation of tasty milkshakes and muffins, we all dodged the nettles and the thorns and picked the blackberries on our plot. But so abundant they were that we also picked a few apples to make a seedless blackberry and apple jam. De-Li-Cious!
We have a few jars of the runny one (perfect on ice cream! I have been told by my lovely neighbour!) and the solid one made with my hubby's home made pectin! (pectin made from apples picked at the allotment too).
Needless to say that I already have consumed a couple of jars for breakfast and each mouthful brings back childhood memories of my Maman making blackberry jam when we lived in Brittany.
Truly lovely. ;)
