BLACKBERRY APPLE JELLY
August is the busiest month of the year on our small farm-that's when we're harvesting sweet corn, pumpkins and pickling cucumbers for our stand. But I always make time to put up this jelly. The apples come from our old-fashioned orchard, while the blackberries grow wild along our creek...and the jelly's usually gone by January! -Liz Endacott, Matsqui, British Columbia
