Cooking with Donna: Making Seedless Black Raspberry Jam
Donna has been picking the black raspberries that grow wild around our wooded property, we call Journey's End, for the past three weeks or so. These are unattended and uncultivated berry patches - in other words, you find a bramble patch here, another there, pretty much all over our property on woodline edges.
All together she gathered seven one-quart freezer bags full of berries and is now going to put up some seedless black raspberry jam, one of our summer favorites. From seven one-quart bags of berries, she ends up with seven half-pints of jam in this clip. The process is fairly easy to do and you need only your berries and sugar - no other ingredients. [Please note: We often refer to both blackberries and black raspberries here by simply calling them blackberries. In fact we have both blackberries and black raspberries [as well as some red raspberries] growing here at Journey's End. Donna is making seedless black raspberry jam in this video - although there just may be a few blackberries in the mix! - although they tend to ripen somewhat later - :D ]
