Wild Berry Jam!! The Wild Ones are the Best!

[@heidiw8406]

If you dehydrate the pulp it is really good added to tea. Have a wonderful day.

[@karenrouth2056]

Great idea Heidi!!

[@lovnbnhome]

Heidi W I’ve made pulp muffins! Yum!

[@hgils]

Oh, why didn't I think of this? Thank you!

[@tlb588]

Wow... that sounds like great subject matter for another youtube. I was just thinking about having my wife add some to her zucchini bread. She puts pineapple in it, maybe a substitution is in order.

[@gwynethgrove772]

How lovely that so many of your viewers noticed you seemed a little bit low today. You are very important to us, hope you get some rest and feel supported by the collective good wishes.

[@carolstout7978]

Wow! You are so neat as you work. I would have my whole kitchen stained with berries.

[@chelinfusco6403]

LoL. Me too! When I followed her video for the cranberries, I had cranberry stains everywhere. I cleaned as I went, but a couple of days later I was still finding spots of cranberries. First time for me. I laughed every time I found a spot. I still laugh about it.

[@amyjacob2100]

I have white cabinets like Sarah's and they are always getting splattered with something, no matter how careful I try to be. Lol

[@ritamccartt-kordon283]

For 30 + years I've canned things in the winter! It heats the house and it's not a busy time of year! Just like you said! Hope you feel better soon! Missed that pretty smile, and those dimples!! It ALWAYS makes me think of my Brother, Frank, he's been gone for 10 years now. I miss him!

[@temperhollow7716]

Filled with antioxidants! Bet the jam will be delicious on ice cream on a hot summer day : )

[@debbiebaughman1402]

My Mama used to put a towel in the bottom of the canner. Her canner was oblong and fit on 2 burners at a time. She canned alot. Really miss her and the time we spent together.

[@theresaglass1831]

Oh good I’m not alone. You look like you trying to keep from crying. Bless your heart. Sending love and prayers your way. 🙏🥰

[@heatherfisher4756]

If you don’t have a rack for the bottom of your pan you can place some jar rings on the bottom of the pan for your jars to sit on. I’ve used this trick a couple of times. Works well for me. 🙂👍🏻

[@mbcalderwood]

I wish I knew this sooner lol!! But I am glad I know it now :) thanks for sharing!

[@essemsween818]

A folded newspaper or even a tea towel works too. Anything to stop the glass making contact with the metal of the base. That way there's no danger of the glass cracking from overheating. I think it's a bigger danger with electric stoves especially the ones with the metal spiral eyes.

[@janew5351]

I have used a dish cloth or the square silicone potholder for just a few jars.

[@genkiferal7178]

I've done that for steaming, too. Even old peanut butter lids have worked.

[@carolhutchinson3954]

When your body tells you to sit down and take a time out to rest your body, mind and spirit!! Do it!!!! I know you work hard stay very active. Take time for yourself. Take a hot bubble bath snd let time and work go. Take time for yourself!!!! Love you and your precious family

[@colleenkrall630]

We have a Dessert Bullet. We take frozen black raspberries, mulberries, blackberries, and strawberries...let them partially thaw. Then put them through the Dessert Bullet. Makes like a sorbet except it's healthier. Eat like ice cream. Pure fruit. Delicious.

[@nancypollard4531]

wow! I'm surprised at all the comments wondering if you were o.k. I love your calm demeanor. Watching your homesteading videos has kind of become my morning zen. I watch while I have my coffee and start my day with a feeling of happy peace.

[@bowenfamilyfarm9776]

I Enjoyed the video. My husband bought me a food strainer for Valentine's day lol. He knows my heart.

[@jodirandazzoconley4437]

Don't feel good today? Relax today, you deserve it. If sad get some hugs,cry,take a bath and pray.❤❤❤❤❤

[@DRUMMER-j-u2x]

You weren't quite as smiley today. I hope you are feeling alright! Still, a great video, and yes, I ALWAYS learn something when I watch. Thumbs-up!!

[@johnchase4408]

Wild Black & Raspberries, you can't beat it.

[@greggmoldovan1165]

Whenever I watch your videos I feel like I'm visiting friends.

[@iartistdotme]

We lived on 10 acres for 25 years and every year I made blackberry jelly from our field. They grew like weeds and even though it was mowed several times a year, We let it grow once we saw the flowers on the blackberries. I had tons of jelly made just as you do and I also disliked the seeds which is why I just made jelly (strained through cheese cloth. We had so many it didn't matter that we could have made more if it were jam. I WISH I had thought to freeze them in the summer when it was so hot that making the jelly was hard work after picked batches in the morning.What a wonderful way to do it, just freeze then thaw and squish, then can. Such a good strategy and thanks for making this video. I think your potato machine worked so well! I used to grow and put up 100 tomato plants every summer. I also just learned that some people wash them and put them in the freezer whole. When thawing them, the skins peel off and sauce is almost done. Easy squeezy.

[@bobriemersma]

My mouth is watering imagining black raspberry fruit leather. But I realize this can be a time, space, and energy eater to make.

[@livingwithcancer1245]

I Love binge watching your channel. Older and newer videos. I am learning so much. I have a somewhat urban homestead of sorts. We live in town but a very small town of less than 500 people.

[@sassymama9364]

My mother (I'm 73) used a kitchen towel in the bottom of her pot so the jars didn't set directly on the bottom. She never lost a jar. She also never had a pressure canner and used her water bath canner to can everything. We never had any bad effects from this. She raised 5 children this way. Love your channel.

[@lorindav5549]

I love making jam. Made lots of jam, but I use Pomona's Pectin. With Pomona's you can make as large a batch as you can cook. I'd fill my large water bath canner with as many pints as would fit. The pectin doesn't go bad if you don't use it promptly and it is also low sugar. Marvelous stuff. Sour cherry jam is our family favorite. It's like eating cherry pie. Yum!

[@KamrinTheKapricornASMR]

Yummmmm my grandmother used to can and make lots of different jams and syrups too! Her Plum syrup on pancakes was so good and also her spiced peach jam was my all time favorite!! My grandpa took care of the big garden and she did all the canning I miss the fruits of their labor very much. Loved seeing this thanks ♥️

[@teresaroman3348]

I love blackberries and do like the seeds, only wild ones taste the right way! Thank you for the video. I saw a comment below about how clean you keep the kitchen...the best thing I have ever made is a mess!

[@jennyjarrett1208]

Omgoodness Sarah, we have become such a tight net family that what I was thinking was evidently what a few others thought. I only watched you about 4 minutes and I immediately said to myself she doesn't feel good I don't think. Your smile wasn't quite the same. We love you and care about you. The whole time I was thinking, how does she do everything she does on a daily basis. She must get so tired. I hope you feel better soon or get some rest. Lol We much appreciate you and your family.

[@robertgillon3078]

My work top is similar to yours it’s dyed it blue Hume , But the blackberry jam infused with Honey 🍯 turned out amazing this is my third year at it , I love doing this it’s got so many good memories from when my mother was alive making her homemade everything she could turn nothing into a dinner for 5 of us happy days, I enjoyed watching and learning from you

[@roseotter384]

Thank you for your videos, I'm learning so much from what you share. God Bless you & your family.

[@nickierodriquez7534]

Thank you for the Rabbit cook book. I received it in the mail yesterday, I can't wait to use it.

[@leez2834]

I am seeing this for the second time and mouth is watering.

[@lindahenderson840]

I live in a small town near Manchester in the UK and sadly could never have homestead but I love watching your videos as I can always dream Thanks so much :)

[@TravelingGranny]

Just wanted to say hello! Manchester is my home town! 👍. I grew up mainly in Wythenshawe & Withington! I now live in Atlanta, Georgia USA. Planning on starting our little homestead in a little over a year from now! 👍😘🇬🇧 xx

[@ravenblue3434]

That tomato gadget is awesome!

[@margarettt7675]

I am always impressed that you demonstrate safe food preservation methods!

[@chautran2371]

I love your video. Take good care. God bless all of you

[@pambonesteel3775]

I love hearing the "pop" of cooling canning jars whenever I can!

[@LindseyHeine]

Great video Sarah. Feeling super under the weather. So nice to take a bit of time to watch your channel!

[@lauragriffin6512]

Nothing like homemade jam made with sild berries of any kind. And the fragrant smells that go through the house are so wonderful.

[@elainem4439]

Good morning. Love your videos.

[@friedchicken17]

Another great video thank you. God is good. God bless ❤️🤗🙏

[@rhondawelker6742]

We have Chester Thornless blackberries planted. We got our starts from my in-laws in Missouri. They used to have a you pick farm. The berries were developed in MO. Absolutely LOVE them and of course the picking is easy. Used to have thornless raspberries, too. They were delicious as well. We would go to the farmer’s market and sell out headed home by 10 a.m. Sarah, if you’re just wanting to make jelly, I use my juicer. It works great and to separate the seeds from the pulp I put it through cheese cloth. Wonderful jam without seeds. 😃

[@robertlafollette8931]

Goodmorning, I could of used some of that Jam on my toast this morning. Beautiful smile young lady. God Bless your family.

[@michelekennedy515]

We just purchased property in Michigan this month and we have a lot of wild raspberries and blackberries. I am beyond excited. I can't wait to follow your recipe! Thank you for sharing. ☺

[@Lantanana]

Not trying to nit pick, just a suggestion, that you sit the hot jars on a towel instead of the counter top, because if the counter is cold, the jar can break (when you are filling them up). Love your channel, and especially your canning videos since I enjoy canning also!

[@cynthiabarrow509]

Thank you. Have a great day

[@mitchellreese1120]

Yummy, now I'm going to crave some Wild Jam when I have breakfast. Have a wonderful day.

Another great video! There is nothing like homemade jelly & jam!! Thanks, Sarah!

[@angiemelton6547]

I love your canning videos. You make everything so easy. My grandma made canning unbearable. When I was a kid I told myself I would never can anything ever! 😄 My now grown children and I are going mostly off grid so we will be canning everything come harvest season. Thanks to you and Kevin for yaws videos. God bless you and your family

[@mikegriffin3437]

You make it look so easy.

[@aceelliottcentralcoastchic6644]

Good morning.. thank you for the wonderful video.. my neighbor made pomegranate jam for Christmas this year and OMG it was amazing talk about just eating it right out of the jar.. hope y'all have a wonderful and blessed week..

[@janwhite5642]

That sounds so good!

[@robertsine2159]

You may also consider fig trees, the Chicago Hardy would probably be my first choice for you because it is cold tolerant. My suggestion is to plant figs against the southern walls of you house. They like a lot of sun and the house keeps them warm at night.

[@sofiamanolakis8214]

I hope you are well. You seem a little out of it. Wishing you all the best. Love to you and your family. ❤️❤️

[@kathypowers8415]

Enjoyed spending time in the kitchen with you today, jam looks so yummy! You do seem a little out tune, hope all is well. Hugs & prayers coming your way!

I'm good! I think I was just a little tired. Thanks for caring! 😊

[@janicegassaway6031]

Omg Kevin and I think a like! Tomato processor did great! This brought me back to my childhood when the kids would go out in the woods scavenging for berries. Love love love BlackBerry jam!

[@maryvanessa9909]

In my area they do a lot Mayhaw jelly, it’s the best stuff, we used putva large cloth tarp under trees shake, pick onto making it on the stove, good ole days 🙂🙏🥰. That looks so good! 🤪 Yummy a biscuit and creamed butter! Cup of tea ☕️

[@alicewhittington5506]

My Mom used to put a tea towel in the bottom of her canner to protect the jars. God bless

[@TravelingGranny]

Thank you for sharing! 👍😘🙏🇬🇧

[@patriciasmith5336]

If you fill some mason jars with boiling water and place a lid and ring on them you can sterilize some water for emergencies and a full pot comes to a boil faster saving energy and fuel. Blessings

[@sonsiehollingsworth5342]

I love that satisfying popping sound when the jars seal properly 💖

[@swianecki]

Would love some of that jam on my toast for breakfast today. Looks delicious!

Hi there, I enjoyed this video very much. I hope you and everybody is well. I too noticed a little sadness there. I hope everything turns out for the best. Love you guys.

[@claireclaire8370]

Yeah I remember how excited I was when I moved to my property to see some wild raspberry plants. And then I saw more and more and more. They were pretty much everywhere. We cut down like three quarters of them and they still come back constantly and try to overtake my horse pasture. It's nice to have them but yes they are very invasive.

[@millermeadows6359]

Morning from Mn.... We have black rasberries coming out our ears here in Mn so i make pancakes for grandkids when they come and stay with us they love it great video guys , God bless you and yours from us up here in the north

[@teresacoffman5529]

I actually put the berries right in the pancake mix when i make it for them.

Morning. 4 degrees here. Brrr. Your Raspberries look amazing. I bet the flavor is awesome too.

[@jepurl1]

Love this--such a professional production. You always make things look easy!!

[@shadetree2992]

Wow, the rain is for real!

[@cleotaylor1860]

If you put the pulp in a stainless pot and add water an inch above, bring to a boil. Let the mix stand for about 30 minutes or so, strain & add your favorite sweetener to taste. Home made juice and even more use of the berry. Your jam looked amazing.

[@cleotaylor1860]

We strain the seed from strawberries and kiwi also to make juice for our children.

[@arlynelauro9872]

[@SuzieqNC2606]

I used your recipe to make my Raspberry/Blackberry Jam. It turned out great! Thank you!

[@marthaadams8326]

Wanted to share with you a big thank you! I just recently saw your putting up your garden spinach and making serving size portions. Since I am elderly and live alone, this is great. I had just bought a big tub of spinach and made it in individual portions, froze them and then bagged them for the freezer. Then I thought, I could do that with all kinds of things, like just started ricing cauliflower and it would really be good for this method. Now, I am going to do that method with anything that works with it, instead of using so many plastic bags. And, I have these snap lock lasagna size glass containers and they are perfect for putting all of your serving sizes in. Thank you!

[@lisareaume3857]

THOSE LOOK SO YUMMY! NOW FOR SOME TOAST WITH YOUR JAM! IT CAN'T GET MUCH BETTER THAN THAT!

I blend my berries in the Vitamix and the seeds blend right up and turns out wonderful.

[@cub221954]

Suggestion, buy a couple red raspberry plants and put them in a area of your property out of your way....in a couple years you will have an abundance of red raspberries...oh, btw, I have them growing out into my yard also...easier to mow them over when they get unruly...and they also sell well!!

[@dlewis502]

That pulp and juice would make an awesome cobbler! Loved the video! Love making jams and jellies!

[@k.kuklok1814]

When my husband and I bought his family farm my Mother In Law taught me how to make wild black raspberry jelly. This was back in 1996. She helped me the first few years until I felt I could do it myself. She loved picking berries. She was the fastest picker I ever saw. She would picked berries by the ice cream pail full. She now has advanced Alzheimers and it gets a little sad thinking about her not being able to do the things she loved most. Gardening, canning and picking strawberries and wild black raspberries. I have her Ball canning book she wrote notes by recipes on how she did it. Dates she did the recipe etc. she taught me everything about canning. Her Mother In Law taught her. Maybe some day I'll be able to do the same if I ever get a Daughter In Law.

[@rebeccashetter2309]

Thanks for sharing, You can use the leaves for tea.... great for cramps in the stomach. I have several mulberry's and I do not like the seeds. Next year I will be making jam out of them. Thanks again for all your hard work. PS. Canning jars are coming into the stores now... go and get them guys.

[@janwhite5642]

I was thinking that you seemed a little out of sorts too. We all love you both so much and I am sure you are working hard. I even know that taking us along with your day is hard work. All of the editing etc.. You Sarah have the most beautiful smile and dimples. The two of you together really brighten the day of so many of us. If you need to take a break you do it..We can handle it...And yes those delicious wild black berries are so delicious. We did have to do some major clearing when I was a child in order for our family to be able to even get in our back door. My mom lived in my childhood home till she died. She had blackberries completely cover a tree that she had out back and that made more berries than she could use.. You are both wonderful teachers. The picture that accompanies this needs to be changed . My baby who is now in her mid forties took that picture of me the other day and then removed the wrinkles and put makeup on me... I think she is having a hard time seeing her mama get old . I did too with my mom .. We are and were mama's girls in a big way. We all three not only loved each other but liked each other and that was huge...

[@gerrymarmee3054]

Fun to watch!

[@przlsc]

On thing I have consistently done for the last 40 years is make low sugar jam from FROZEN berries. Saves some hot summer work for a cooler time of year. Used to seal with wax, like my mom did, but started doing the method on the box - self seal while hot. Never had a fail!

[@rsislandcrafts]

Wonderful video! I’ve always loved wild berries. They’re like a free gift from Mother Nature. I hope you’re feeling okay. You seem a bit tired today.
