2011 upick chronicles

It's peak berry time right now. Today we picked boysenberries and black caps. Eva also picked some red currants and wants me to make some red currant- red raspberry sorbet with them. I'm hoping to make that in the next couple of days. The boysenberries will be both frozen and turned into jam. The weather has been gorgeous for picking.



Gorgeous rows of berries and upickers, all enjoying the sunshine and cool breezes.



I love how much smaller the black caps (black raspberries) are than the boysenberries.



I asked for a little luck today and what better place to find it than the upick.



Boysenberries are soft and plump. They have a pretty purple tint and darken as they ripen.
