Bottoms up, sour cherry preserve-black raspberry preserve-gooseberry jelly.
We have been wildly wild, busybusybusy as all three fruit are happening at once this year, where there is usually a bit of staggering. Cannot pick and cook fast enough.
The flavor of black raspberries is matched only by their staining capacity!
The sour cherry crop seems to be having a pretty banner year, making up for last.
But those gooseberry thorns!!! Seeming extra extra sharp, ai yi yi and I have the scars to prove it!! Of course, the tart beauty of the jelly is more than worth it…For a little Christmas in July, and because really, who needs sleep?– we pulled a batch of Sevilles from the freezer one very humid day to get a batch of marmalade going and they were fabulously frosty. And unbelievably fragrant even though frozen solid. Incredible. Lazy days of summer, uh uh.
