Our property is covered with wild raspberry, will black raspberry, and wild blackberry cane. I picked these this morning. I got about 500 ml (2 c) of berries. I’ve tinned them and will freeze them until I can pick more over the next few days. Then…I’ll make black raspberry jam!
Maybe.
I don’t know.
My wife normally makes jam but she’s away for the weeks. Maybe I’ll give it a go.
I only found out about this last year, but soaking them in salt water rids them of maggots…
Maggots? In Raspberries? Are you thinking of fruit fly larvae? I rinsed the berries in cold water to remove anything loose. I’m going to add a bunch of sugar then boil them until they turn into jam. The fruit fly larvae will taste like raspberry jam.
Whats the normal maggot-to-raspberry ratio?
