RASPBERRY FREE PICK !

I have been trying to decide whether to spend the money on picking raspberries for jelly this year.  I went for a walk on our local trail tonight and found a gigantic area of raspberries growing wild.  I picked for maybe a minute and could not hold them all in both hands!  Best part is that right under all the raspberry bushes are strawberry plants too.  I am so excited about going back tomorrow.  If you look for them they are everywhere to pick along trails in the city I bet.  

I will be posting my blackcurrant jelly recipe since I made some yesterday and it turned out fantastic. Today I made blackcurrant, redcurrant and gooseberry mixture jelly with the same recipe just substituting the different fruit mixture instead of only blackcurrants.  It seemed to set a little slower but did set and seal!

I have to show you all how huge this place is and everywhere you can see for hundreds of feet are raspberries and big ones.  I am planning on making a video of the raspberry patches I found and will post it tomorrow to my YouTube Channel.  

Have a nice evening everyone and I will post the jelly recipe soon.
