Our property is covered with wild raspberry, will black raspberry, and wild blackberry cane. I picked these this morning. I got about 500 ml (2 c) of berries. I’ve tinned them and will freeze them until I can pick more over the next few days. Then…I’ll make black raspberry jam!

Maybe.

I don’t know.

My wife normally makes jam but she’s away for the weeks. Maybe I’ll give it a go.

    The way to tell them apart, weirdly enough is from what happens when you pull the berries off the stem.

    With a raspberry the plug pulls out, leaving a hole

    With a blackberry, the plug stays inn, snapping at the stalk.
