Charlotte's berries

I dropped down to visit my sister, Charlotte yesterday.  Her and husband, Bob, had just 

returned from a little jaunt around the bay in their motor home.   They happened upon 

a great spot for bakeapples.....here's the evidence....

Anyone who has ever picked bakeapples, or any type of berries, for that matter, knows 

that it is HARD WORK!!

 

 Charlotte absolutely loves picking berries. 

Mom always said that when a berry patch is picked clean, Charlotte can go in

and  still get lots of berries.  I think it takes a lot of patience.

Don't they just look like jewels??

They had been gone all weekend, so they had to pick raspberries from their

 backyard patch upon returning as well......

If these pics don't make you want to have some berries or make some jam, I just 

don't know....ha ha!

My visit sure put me in the mood to make some jam......so I pulled some of my frozen

bakeapples out, thawed them and made a little batch of jam.  Roger likes any type of jam cooked for just a very short time with just a touch of sugar.  This way the berries keep their shape and you can really taste the berry, not the sugar! 

Of course, I make very small batches at a time and always keep it refrigerated.

Have a look........

A little dish of this stuff with some thick cream, or even on ice-cream is delectable :o)
