Boysenberry Jam on our Jam Making Extravaganza Day!

We grew up eating boysenberry jam, so it’s no wonder both my sister and I have grown boysenberry plants to make our own jam. Today, my sister brought over her preserved berries for a full day of jam making. It was a long day but well worth it. We made 36 half points of boysenberry, strawberry, raspberry, blackberry and blueberry jam. Each one of them turned out so good, but the boysenberry wins hands down every time. Join us for a little snippet of making jam.

We relocated to a home on one acre in a rural area. We were interested in finding a property that offered true seasons, as well as an easy-going, friendly community leaving the hustle and bustle behind. A smaller, newer home on a well-plotted flat acre free of out-structures to create our own spaces. We planned to develop a large garden, garden shed, hoop house and the ever so long-deserved shop for Doug.
Doug is a do-it-yourself builder and problem solver. He is a creative guy who loves to be busy creating unique pieces from both wood and metal, which include forging and welding. I (Tresa) am a passionate vegetable gardener, providing homegrown food for fresh eating, as well as preserving. I grow all my own seedlings and direct sows, as well as some seed saving. I also grow a variety of berries and recently planted 14 new fruit trees. I love to bake and cook from scratch, providing natural, organic, healthy meals.
