Used to love to throw a bunch of black berries in a pot and cook em for just a bit. Stir in some butter and pour the soupy mess over a big fat homegrown biscuit... mmmm mmmmm. Can't eat that sorta stuff anymore but the memories are still good.
If you are just making syrup you can skip the pectin. I do a lot of simple syrups with herbs and sometimes fruit. Just prep your fruit or herb, measure how much you have, bring to a boil, add in an equal amount of sugar, bring back to a boil and stir until all sugar is dissolved. Put in jars. Since I don't have any cool storage I do tend to water bath them for about 10 -15 min to ensure a good seal and safety. Locally in late winter and early spring I can get a lot of lemons and limes and a lot of times I'll juice and make syrup like this. Dilute with 3-4 times as much water and you have lemon or limeade that is even better than frozen concentrate. Mint syrup is a delicious addition to ice tea.
Goat butter?!? That's a thing?! I NEED to know how you separate the cream to make the butter....please!?? Oh. My. YUM!! Are you milking your girls at the new homestead? If so, I really would love to see how you make your butter.
👍
Looks delicious!!!
Good video

First of all, your lockets are looking awesome! The turtle 🐢 is so cute! The berries came in handy. It looks delicious. Love the video 📹 ❤
Thank you

Yes it's a thing. I will start milking in a couple weeks so I can make a video
Are you milking any goats right now? Curious how that is going at the new place and what your setup is like. 😊
Unfortunately no. The move was too stressful for them. I do have a doe still nursing kids so I'm hoping to be able to milk her when she is done
