Today was creek monitoring day for Wolf Creek. I picked up my testing kit at NID and drove to my beautiful site 6.. The trail was extremely over grown.. (mental note, next time bring a machete!)
Met my site partner Gary at this amazing cool and shady spot and completed our testing
and on the way out spotted this in the sunshine
And that lead to this.....
Which of course led to this...Came home scratched and with one tic crawling about.. ewwww... took a shower and cleaned the Blackberries I had picked
I used Pectin this time and my friend BJ introduced me to Pomona's ( I usually rely on the natural pectin in fruit to gel) This stuff is great. Mostly because it calls for FAR less sugar.
My Recipe: 4 cups crushed blackberries, 1/4 c lemon juice, 1 1/2 cups of sugar, follow the directions on the pectin package for processing.
