Our property is covered with wild raspberry, will black raspberry, and wild blackberry cane. I picked these this morning. I got about 500 ml (2 c) of berries. I’ve tinned them and will freeze them until I can pick more over the next few days. Then…I’ll make black raspberry jam!

Maybe.

I don’t know.

My wife normally makes jam but she’s away for the weeks. Maybe I’ll give it a go.

      The way to tell them apart, weirdly enough is from what happens when you pull the berries off the stem.

      With a raspberry the plug pulls out, leaving a hole

      With a blackberry, the plug stays inn, snapping at the stalk.

      Black raspberries are raspberries. They have a core that comes out. Blackberries are not raspberries. They have a solid core that you can’t remove. Blackberries are also normally much bigger than raspberries.
