Last year was the "Year of the Strawberry". We picked kilos and kilos of them, in fact our freezer still has a few bags waiting to be used.
This year is going to be the "Year of the Berry". Boysenberries, Raspberries and Currants.

| 33 jars of Berry Jam, Done! |
Last week I picked 8.5kg of fruit and made it up into jam, yielding 33 jars of mixed berry jam. Enough to have one every fortnight for a whole year. I can think of lots of things to use it for, jam flan, Bakewell tart, jam donuts and more. Hmm, must get my pinny on.
Hey Anna, should be Bakewell pudding. The only tart in Bakewell stood on the corner of Matlock Street and King street; Usually on a Friday night.
