I cooked up a batch this weekend, and it set perfectly. So, I'd just gotten lazy over the years, and didn't realize that it mattered so much.<br />Thanks for dropping in!Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-86277268592513277972012-07-09T07:00:42.861-07:002012-07-09T07:00:42.861-07:00This is really useful, thank you!This is really useful, thank you!Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11890268843343589071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-80535075979954813492012-07-08T17:20:51.773-07:002012-07-08T17:20:51.773-07:00Are your huckleberries the red ones or the blue on...Are your huckleberries the red ones or the blue ones? I just leave the red ones to the birds, but I do pick the blue ones. And you have goats! Now I can say I know someone who has goats! That's supposed to be such a Pacific northwest thing! What a fun place you must have, with chickens and goats.Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-48097165600610253972012-07-08T05:38:35.046-07:002012-07-08T05:38:35.046-07:00Yes, we do have a lot of Oregon Grape bushes aroun...Yes, we do have a lot of Oregon Grape bushes around, and again, I am awestruck, I had no idea you could eat them! lol AND we have some wild berries, but we bought the goats to take care of that problem so we only get the little variety, not sure of the name of it. AND we have huckleberry's too, they are tart at least the ones that we have growing on the property. Love blackberry jam or cobble or pie, or eating em fresh! ha haBears Fanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11543629783626249155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-61927983861243512922012-07-07T18:07:02.256-07:002012-07-07T18:07:02.256-07:00Hi Tracy,

I prefer the jelly.<br />Do you ever pick the wild blackberries in your area? We have a wild patch of those at the back of our yard, which we pick for jam, cobbler and pie. <br />Thanks for dropping in!Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-55256764173004971082012-07-07T15:12:52.256-07:002012-07-07T15:12:52.256-07:00I had no idea that you could eat the oregon grape ...I had no idea that you could eat the oregon grape berry or make jelly out of it, interesting!Bears Fanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11543629783626249155noreply@blogger.com
