Re: Berries

We have lots of raspberries here--and they can become quite invasive, but they're not exactly wild. Blackberries, however, in another story. Wild everywhere like a delicious curse.
My sister made a boysenberry cobbler and 6 pints of boysenberry jam, then we ran the rest of the berries through my Mehu-Liisa steam juicer and extracted about a quart of boysenberry juice that, once it cools, we will use to make some syrup now and freeze to make some syrup later.

Mmmmm boysenberries. Are you in an area where they have the wild
raspberries everywhere? My dad lived in Northern California for a while, 
we went picking once. Bled a lot. It was worth it though.

Went berry picking this AM. Specifically, raspberry and boysenberry
picking at a local U-Pick farm. We brought home about 10 pounds of
raspberries and 5-6 pounds of boysenberries. Yum! Mostly they will be
used to make jam and syrup, but also a few tarts, beginning with the
boysenberries because they are the more fragile of the two. On the way
to the farm, we drove over a covered bridge built in 1913--kinda neat,
makes you think "rural."
