[Northkeep] Speaking of blackberries

[Jennifer Eppler]

Your mentioning sand plum jelly brought tears to my eyes, Talana. I can 
remember helping my grandmother in the kitchen boil tons of those for hours 
for her jelly. I miss that! :) We still have a bunch of Kerr jars around 
here for it (my grandfather never throws anything away). That and 
persimmon...

>>that was frozen unsweetened.  The fruit crop is sure to be thin this year 
>>because of the freeze, which will make fresh fruit more expensive.  Ludo's 
>>advice about the cow pastures is good advice.  Sand Plums also make lovely 
>>jam if you know someone who has a tree or two and you can beat the wasps
