“Some of the jam we thought was for tomorrow, we’ve already eaten.” Tony Benn
More So hot, the toast is steaming, melting the thick slices of butter into savoury pools, wafting its salty aroma as I layer juicy, thick, blackberry jam in all its decadent sweetness, rolling round my tongue, dripping down my chin, tantalising my senses, eliciting divine sighs, O' my goodness, the urge to have another. ©Paul Vincent Cannon

“The rule is, jam today, jam yesterday, but never jam today.”

I had to laugh at this one. We bought some homemade blackcurrant jam – my favourite – but when I finally remembered and went to have some, my husband had already gobbled it all up. Guess I should forgive his impulse given your poem.

I have made my first batch of blackberry jam from Saturday’s pickings: 5 jars. Two to give away (one already), two for the pantry, one for now… unfortunately the kids were squabbling and managed to drop and break one jar already. So I shall have to go blackberrying again. 😀
