Vegan Mofo day 9: Bramble Jelly
Our bramble jelly story starts on sunday with me and Stephen picking blackberries off the bushes. This idyllic countryside pursuit left me with scratches where my boots finished. We got around 500g of berries without much fuss and we took a break to sit in a tea garden.
Of course the next step in the process is to jelly it up. First I had to grab an equal amount of apples and stew it all down into a fruity lovely mush.
Then everything goes into the jelly bag and drips overnight which brings us to today. My lovely fruity liquid went into the jam pan with plenty of sugar and got boiled half to death before this happened:
With lids and labels we're good to go. And oh my god I love autumn.
