Black Razzlecherry Jam (BBB)

Jul
20


Following the Great Summer Power Outage of 2012, I made a couple batches of Dede’s Black Razzlecherry Jam (Dede = wvhomecanner, our resident CITR preserving expert!) using sour cherries from my cherry tree and black raspberries from my pasture. (I didn’t strain to remove the seeds because seeds don’t bother me.) This is a delicious way to use up a mix of berries and cherries. (Exchange raspberries for blackberries or other berries according to what you have.) If you’ve got some berries and cherries that are begging to be put in a jar, you can find Dede’s recipe here:

Black Razzlecherry Jam.

I haven’t canned in a month or so. I miss canning if I don’t can for a bit! You? Or are you still waiting to get started? Wait no more!

Available today is another copy of the Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving. I have this book, and love it. It has all the beginner instructions and recipes from the basic BBB, but it’s expanded to include lots of unique gourmet recipes to appeal to the advanced canner, too.

    A few years ago I combined small amounts of raspberries, blueberries and stawberries from my freezer at the beginning of summer just to free up the freezer space for the new harvest and called it Triple Berry Jam. I had so many positive comments and requests for the recipe but probably could never repeat it exactly as I did not recall the exact proportions, I just put them together until I got a final amount that equalled a berry recipe.

    Would love to be included in the BBB drawing, thanks!

    Count me in! We don’t eat much in the way of jam, but tomatoes are coming on strong here in Michigan, and I did put up 16 pints of chicken this week. Looks like pickles next week. Thanks for the BBB offer.

    Would love a new BBB! I have my mom’s old one from the early 90′s and have the big book, but would love the little one to stick in my kitchen drawer. I used to have one a few years ago but I let a friend borrow it and she never gave it back. Thanks!

    Been canning just this week, last night I made zucchini pineapple. Had some leftover and put it in the fridge. My husband, who does NOT eat before 10:30 am, slurped it all. And declared it a winner. Tonight is zucchini relish, then tomorrow is back to another batch of zucchini pineapple. One of my favorite jams to make is Very Cherry Berry Jam. I use about half sweet cherries, and half berries dujour. Usually some strawberries and blueberries, but this year my blackberries are producing and I think this recipe of yours may just have to be made.

    No BBB for me please, I have one and LOVE it.

    I would love this book. This summer my grandmother is going to show me how to bottle. Everyone remembers her house for having tons of pantry items to pluck of the shelves. Not so much these days, but we both got gardens going, so wish me luck.

    I love making jam. Unfortunately my family doesn’t eat a lot of jams for breakfast. I also add stuff like cinnamon, vanilla to my jams. One jam I tried is called rabbit’s breakfast. It’s made with carrots, apples and orange juice and a touch of fresh ground ginger. It’s absolutely yummy! BBB

    I was hoping to try this recipe. Blackberries would have been the berries of choice but the heat and drought roasted them on the brambles. Only BB I scored were the early ones I pigged out on in the field. The quart or so I stuck in the freezer befell the same fate as my BBB (and everything else). Fingers and Toes crossed I am in the running for the BBB. Mine kinda became toast. Or more accurately ashes.

The Slanted Little House

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....
