We were lucky enough to get to do the same (blueberry picking) on a visit to my family recently. I've been popping frozen blueberries into smoothies with strawberries, bananas, and soy milk for weeks now. Enjoy them! I love picking my own fruit from a family farm!

They look awfully dark (more like blackberries; or is that an American thing?) Makes me want to go out and pick fruit and bake cupcakes! Looks delicious – are those raspberries?

I've enjoyed every episode, but one of the more recent ones has an interview with the author of "The Man Who Loved China." (I found it - its Episode 5.)

Black raspberries make fabulous preserves! I always test my jam on a plate that has been in the freezer rather than at room temperature. It cools the jam quickly so you know within a minute or so if your jam is jelled enough or if it needs to be put back on the flame. Make jam as Rebecca suggests.

I just heard of Larriland farm recently and have wanted to go ever since. I didn't know anyone who had been, though, so your first hand account came at just the right time... thanks!

(I take out the apple at this point, I just use it for the pectin).
