I have to admit that I'm a little lazy - there are plenty of farms around here that offer U-pick produce. One of these days though.... Amy: It's too bad your neighbor cut down the boysenberry tree. I've never heard of freezer jam, it sounds interesting. We do have more shelf space than freezer space, which is what motivated me to learn how to can. According to the blog I mentioned above, you can replace honey for sugar, cup for cup, as long as you use pectin.

Unfortunately we just found out that it was a boysenberry tree last summer and now she has had to cut it down to put up a fence. I guess we'll just have to be content plucking our raspberries for yummy treats. As for the jam, my mother-in-law always supplies our jam, she makes the freezer kind so it doesn't require the hassle of canning to preserve. It's yummy! I don't know if there is a type that uses honey instead of sugar though you probably have more shelf space than freezer space anyway.

I put them in everything now...and they keep pretty well on the counter. So, that’s what they’re called/what scapes are! I put them in everything now…and they keep pretty well on the counter.
