Freezer Jam sounds good mom use to make that when we where kids.If you like Email me the recipe to ascharr@hotmail.com tia.
Has anyone tried Jam with Splenda if so how is it? Jane and sugar not mixie she to sweet for it.Or if there any other non sugar recipes that trun out good please forward them. I just would hate to try something new a ruin my berries.
We did freeze a bunch whole and sliced for daiquiris.

My patch is only 2 years old and started from 5 plants so I get a few tastes every day or so.
Too bad it's going to be so hot this weekend or I'd pack up the family to go picking, I haven't done that since I was a kid!
