It’s finally blackberry season! I’m thrilled to report I made a small batch of jam that I canned and distributed to various family and friends but also am hoarding in the back of our pantry. If I’m lucky we’ll be able to pick enough to make a bit more. It’s also apple season and I’m conversely chagrined to report that too many of our tiny Gravensteins have been tossed over the back fence to our neighbor’s goats. But — I’ve made a couple of pies and several crisps and when I’m married the blackberries with the apples something really lovely has come out of it.
