Blackberry Jam!
The blackberries were especially big and sweet this year for some reason. We never planted these, they are just "wild" around our property in a couple large pockets. It seemed a shame to let them go to waste, so we tried our hand at making jam for the first time. I did the picking (thorn scratches and all) and Mayme did the jam making. It turned out great! We got seven half pints of delicious jam out of the deal. We look forward to trying again next year if the crop is good again. We also just got a Presto 23 qt. pressure canner. This will allow us to can things we couldn't before like soups, green beans, etc. We're looking forward to trying some new things this canning season.

That sounds so delicious! We were going to make blackberry jam, too, as our berries looked fantastic. But between the birds and the yellow jackets feasting on our bounty, we didn't have enough berries for even one half pint.
