I am looking forward to picking bucket upon bucket next month. Any good
recipes for blackberries you can share? How do you make blackberry jam?
My sister made jam and it was all white and frothy at the top. Reminded
me of rabies.

I do know it's best to just ladle the froth off the top when making jelly/jam. Sometimes you might think you have it all skimmed off in the pot only to find some on the top once you've poured it in the jars. If you do, then just skim it off. It won't hurt you to eat it though! lol I'd love to hear about some of the ways you prepared for Y2K.

Ahhhh....the Smokey Mountains.....my favorite place in the country! I just noticed you're from there!
I am so glad to see you posting again. Your blog is sooo beautiful. We were picking blackberries a month ago and they are already about dwindled out.
Blessings,

The daily, hopefully not too fragmented, display of whatever is on the homesteading segment of my scattered brain. I love anything farm...ranch...sufficiency. Y2K was the highlight of my late 20s - well, preparing for it was. Even though nothing happened, I learned a lot, and it birthed a new interest in things I'd previously cared nothing about. I love canning, making masa, and drying vegetables. I want to learn to make salsa, fruit butters and sauces, and soap. Oh, and candles, too. Can someone tell me what lye is and where to find it? And do I need goggles? Help.
