So Saturday was partially spent picking wild blackberries along McGinness Ferry road. We got a pretty good haul; about 5 cups worth or so. Monday night was spent making it into low-sugar wild blackberry jam... 1 cup of sugar with 3 cups of Splenda, instead of 4 cups [!] of sugar.
All day at work and (between making dinner, making jam and prepping the week's lunches) all night standing in the kitchen, but it was worth it... boy is the jam GOOD!
I realized when I was about halfway through mashing up all the berries into a nice jammish pulp that I should have taken a picture of them first for posterity... Oh well.
As for what the finished jam looks like - maybe tonight I will have to make toast with jam as an appetizer and do some Glamour Shots so ya'll can see the finished product.
