When we travel to Nevada for Thanksgiving break, we want to share (and have had requests for) these Oregon-grown berries. With this in mind, Adam and I headed out for a walk Tuesday evening to fill a bucket. We picked about 10 cups, just enough to make 2 quarts of canned pie filling.We cooked up the pie filling, then poured the dark blackberry yumminess into quart jars and finished canning them just before midnight. All in a day's work!
If you want a book that will make your mouth water for berries, you ought to check out the children's book, Jamberry. It is such a delightful book to read. If you haven't read it, please check it out at the library and share with me what you think.
Yum!
ReplyDeletePS, whenever I think of children's books and Oregon I think of your mom reading "We're going on a bear hunt...We're gonna catch a big one!"
We love that book too! We just made a yummy smoothie with all the berries we picked this summer that are in our freezer. Yeah for Oregon berries.
ReplyDeleteI would love a copy of the recipe you used for the blackberry filling. It would be fun to try. Sounds yummy! Lashelle
ReplyDeleteJessie got that book at a storytime and she absolutely loves it. The pictures are so colorful and fun.
