Remember my gran making bramble jelly but no idea how she did it. Might try and google a recipe.

CM, do you have elderberries in the UK? I think they're related to ligonberries, not sire....anyhow they grow wild here; as a child I'd help my gran pick buckets of them by the railroad tracks and watch her make jam! Yummy, not commercially available. I've never tackled jam making myself ....

Re: Blackberries


not sure - never seen them, we do have elderflower cordial so I'm thinking maybe and I've not seen them. Tend to get more soft fruits in England, I'm in Scotland where we tend to be a bit more limited in the varieties commonly available.

Found this website:-

http://www.allotment.org.uk/recipe/1...-jelly-recipe/

thought a few of the recipes looked quite good, but I might have a go at the bramble jelly, doesn't sound too hard (famous last words huh)
