Dew berries will be rip in 2 - 3 weeks and black berries will be rip in about a month.
Does anyone have a recipe for putting up their own jelly they would care to share? In the first weeks of may, my wife, my kids and I will be driving the back roads grabbing as many berries as we can find. The plan is to take some clean gallon milk jugs and cut a large opening in the top. There will be 5 gallon buckets in the back of the truck to dump the gallon jugs in.
From the number of blooms I saw a few weeks ago, we should be getting a good harvest. My wife and I are going to try and put up enough berry jelly to last a whole year. This would only be about 12+ jars. We do not eat a lot of jelly, but if the berries are free, why not get as much as you can.
