My first flush of Blackberries are just starting to reach plumpness in the garden at HQ, I grow the thornless Blackberry in the garden, Loch Ness Thornless Blackberry, this variety produces nice plump fruit, without an of the nasty thorns...but of course we myself and the kids pick wild Donegal blackberries too!
This past weekend myself and wee Gracie did the first pick of these thornless Balckberries in the back garden, and a wee bit of jam was made. I find the jam recipes on Allotment.org.uk a great resource...and I followed the chat about adding an apple into the pot to add natural pectin...and it turned out a treat!
My next batch I'm gonna try to replace the sugar with natural fruit juice...as per Caitriona from Wholesome Irelands suggestion, maybe next weekend I'll have more blackberries....
