A berry I truly love and that is hard to find both as a fruit and as a Jam or Preserve, is the Blackberry. I remember picking them when I was young, down by the railroad tracks in the Borough of Queens, New York City. I enjoyed picking them and loved eating them. Today, though they still grow wild out here on Long Island, where I currently live, I am confined to a wheelchair and cannot go picking them anymore. In the store, the price of almost $ 3 for 6 oz. is more than I can afford plus they just do not taste the same.
I tried growing them but lost my house and it is hard to get apartment complexes to allow you to grow food products in front of your apartment. These wonderful Jams and Conseves are as close as I can get to those days that have past. They are well worth buying and the taste is just wonderful.
