Made cherry, boysenberry, strawberry, apricot-pineapple. Will do apples, pears and green tomato jam yet this fall. Went through 3 10 pounds of sugar and made some sugar free. Gave daughter and family two dozen 6 oz. jars of the strawberry jelly last week.
Two packages will be off to Texas friends this week. And one to cousin in Idaho.

the blackberries I pick from the hedgerows and the strawberries I persuaded a local strawberry grower to give me they were all the mishapen ones that he couldn't send of to the supermarkets

Elderberries are quite a sharp taste and the very tiny fruit grows in clumps on the end of long stalks they look lovely hanging from the trees but are time consuming to prepare!!- have loads of them growing wild near me so with them and the hedgerow blackberries doesn't cost too much
