I'm going bramble picking this weekend,they are big and fat this year,sometimes i freeze them for later use,but i will be making bramble jelly,as we hate the little bits ,Made this last year for the first time and decide it was better than blackcurrant jam!which we all loved(still do)but it now gone to second place by the bramble jelly,delisous on home made scones with cream yummykins.
