There are brambles to the side of Project Othello that have been chopped back a bit. There are not many folks on the site who pick them, but today I jointed another plot person to pick some. The plan was to make Aunty Lorraine’s blackberry jam:

So we found about a 1lb of blackberries . Braving the brambles and the thorns.

And the wrestled with the recipe. I don’t have a jam thermometer, so had to the saucer test where it actually set immediately.

As lovely as it is, some of it has set like concrete. Will have to try again!

Yours in anticipation,
