The hedgerows are now filled with Blackberries, and we went on our first serious picking sortie yesterday morning; walking stick, basket, punnets. We had a reasonable haul, and we shall go again in a couple of days time.
I had just enough for 3 small pots of jelly, plus a wee taster for tomorrow's breakfast.
Anyone who has not tasted proper home-made Bramble Jelly, just ain't lived!
In my not-so-humble opinion it's the finest tasting fruit jelly/jam in the world.

Oh, it is years since I had bramble jelly - blackberry and apple pie or crumble would also be good.
It's 'crumble' in this house; love it!
That bramble jelly looks seriously tempting. Yum.
Love apple and blackberry crumble but regretfully it's not to be found here in the tropics.
The first blackberries have been picked in our local supermarket car park but there are none in the hedgerows yet. Like you I love bramble jelly but it is the whole process of going out 'hunter-gatherer' style to find them that I like best.
All I can say is .... yum yum yum. Sue
That wee taster will be the best after the saucer test lot.

I did do 'the saucer test'; seemed OK.
I'm so greedy I eat them straight from the bush!
Yum! Wish I had that for my breakfast toast and tea this morning. Sigh...

Aloha Hula.... I did have some for breakfast, and as expected it was SENSATIONAL.
looks delicious!
That looks WONDERFUL Cro! How I wish we were neighbors...I'd bring some wonderful coffee over to share if you'd let me have a taste of your jelly on toast! MMmm!
Blackberry jam and cobbler are fabulous, but blackberry wine is mighty fine, too.
Mmm bramble season! My favourite! Ours aren't ready quite yet but hopefully by the weekend there will be at least some ready for picking. Bramble jelly on soda bread.......... **faint**
That looks good. There are masses of blackberries here too.
