Bumbleberry is an old-fashioned name forsomething made with several varieties of berries.
I'm still picking daily, so I thought I'd make
some preserves using red raspberries,
blueberries and strawberries.
The preserves were delicious on scratch
buttermilk biscuits, which nicely rounded
out our supper of grilled salmon on a bed
of greens from the garden.
I had a second one for dessert! :)
Maybe a bumbleberry pie will be next!
The basic recipe is 1 lb. fruit, 1 c sugar, 1/4 c water and 1/2 t cinnamon.
Simmer on low one hour.
Oh! Your photograph of that biscuit with the melting butter and amazing preserves is AWARD winning! I can almost taste it!!

ReplyDeleteBetsy, you have the most fabulous pictures of food! I'll bet your kitchen and house always smell so good. Where do you pick berries? Are you growing them? I have to chime in with Jill, but I'll try not to say it 3 times. I love the biscuit. Yummy for the Tummy. You are always so sweet in your comments on my blog. I think of you and the boys from time to time during the day and pray for you. Love ya, Trish
ReplyDeleteJill ~ Thanks! They were yummy! Do you have any wild berries out there on the new homestead?
ReplyDeleteTrish ~ talk about sweet and encouraging. You do not know how badly I needed to hear your kind words right at this moment.
ReplyDeletePlease come cook dinner for me! Gorgeous, and my mouth is watering.
ReplyDeleteYou are not going to believe this, but I made bumbleberry jam today, too! Only I didn't know that's what it is called! Mine was made with cherries, blackberries and raspberries.
ReplyDeleteMG ~ I'd love to come down south and be the chef while the Mod family had their month of relaxation and renovation! :) Ooohh....I'm ready...just say when! :)
ReplyDeleteWillow ~ If we said "jinx" every time something like this happened, one of us wouldn't be speaking most of the time! :) Too funny!
ReplyDeleteYes, I read last week in a berry cookbook about bumbleberry! Yours sounds great with the cherries. :)
And..I just used your plum butter recipe. Is that what you did?
Mmmmmmm!!! :)
ReplyDeletei've never had bumbleberry but it looks scrumptious!! and a pie made with this would be too, too yummy!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my, I was OK until I got to the last picture and then my mouth watered inside and I got instantly hungry and lusted after your biscuit.
ReplyDeleteAnother mouth-watering post. Wow, you are so industrious and productive...enjoy the 'fruits' of your labour!
ReplyDeleteAbe ~ I bet Patty makes a mean buttermilk biscuit, too! :) Are your blackberries ripe yet?
ReplyDeleteTrish ~ I'm picking in my back yard...that's the best part of it all! :)
ReplyDeleteJulie ~ thank you, yes...a pie would be wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLavinia ~ it has been nice to have the berries in our yard. I've enjoyed them even more than I expected!
This looks wonderful! I could sure go for some Bumbleberry preserves with a scone and a cuppa..Ooh...The pie in the previous post looks delecatble, too...I love pies much more than cakes but I wouldn't turn down either:-)...I'm with Nana Trish, your photography is amazing!
ReplyDeleteOh..Those are pecan bars! I've had pecan pie on my mind for days now and will probably start dreaming of one! Hum....perhaps I need to get motivated to make one?
ReplyDeleteHeavenly day! I can just about smell the hot buttered biscuit and delicious warm preserves....my oh my Betsy....I'm thinking you need to have your own reality show..."In The Kitchen With Betsy"...it could happen :)
ReplyDeleteRebecca ~ I made those pecan bars because I was craving pecan pie...easier and faster....and they really hit the spot!
ReplyDeleteYes, these preserves would be great on a scone...yummy!
Deedee ~ I don't know about a cooking show, but I have always had a dream of a little dessert shop! I have a thing for those old fashioned glass display cases filled with all kinds of treats and the tall cake domes...that sounds so fun to me!
ReplyDeleteOk, I'm just drooling here!
ReplyDeleteThose are "unfair" pictures! The deserts look great. I love berries....especially fresh blue berries! I have a customer in NW Washington State that keeps me supplied durring the late summer months. What a treat.
ReplyDeleteStrider ~ fresh blueberries from Washington...you just can't beat that! You can stock your freezer!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. I love bumbleberry too.
ReplyDeleteYUMMY! I'm glad I didn't see this until the evening because it would have made me ravenous all day!
ReplyDeleteBetsy you are a gourmet cook!
ReplyDeletehey... bumbleberry...my fav!
ReplyDeleteHey, welcome Bumblevee! Yes, I can see why it's your fav! :)
