Blackberry Peach Nutmeg Jam


Blackberry Peach Nutmeg Jam
When I discovered a patch of blackberries surrounding the slough at the end of my family's road, I made it a habit to go and pick a colander full on my evening walks to watch the sunset from the fields. On one such occasion, I heard a rustling of footsteps behind me. Afraid I was going to be told off for picking the berries (though they were on public property), I hesitated to turn around. It wasn't until I heard our neighbor Jerry say, “Oh, are you interested in picking fruit?” that I turned around in happy surprise. It so happened that Jerry had a whole orchard of peaches, plums, and nectarines that he was more than happy to share with me. I started with a tiny box, until Jerry said, “No, she needs a bigger one,” to his wife, insisting that I pick from all the best trees, and sample along the way. In the end, I came home with two big boxes of beautiful fruit and a renewed gratitude for neighborly generosity.
Made from foraged blackberries and Jerry's superbly ripe yellow peaches. Blackberries seeds add texture, nutmeg makes the whole reminiscent of the very best summer pies. Imbued with the spirit of human kindness.
