Squirraling away free fruit and berries

Now is the time of year to fill your boots with fruits. Its been such a wet year that even the normal reliable local trees for apples are thin on the ground so I'm also aware of the need to ensure I leave plenty of food for wildlife and not plunder the natural sources.
What does seem to be in abundance is blackberries. I think the economical cut backs has meant less money spent on vegetation control by the local council allowing them to grow and blossom.
There is still a good two weeks of fruit left on the bushes so I need to get busy preparing storage.
The easiest way to store blackberries over the winter is to 'jamify', no specialist equipment required just fruit and jam. I don't even go for the measurement, using a rule of thumb 'half the amount of sugar to fruit' by eyeballing it. Then just boil away on stove top until you get big glistening bubbles on top of the mix or the mixture coats the back of a metal spoon without slippage.
Alternatively you can juice your berries and either freeze the result or add a squeeze of lemon juice and keep in the fridge for later. As a special treat add some juice to some soya or almond milk!
