Honey and Thyme Blackberry Jam

Every spring, right around this time, I find myself getting the itch to start canning. I walk through the farmer’s markets and dream of all the jams, jellies, pickles and sauces I could make with the seasonal ingredients.
Last weekend I spotted some beautiful blackberries at one of the stands and they called my name. Then, I found this recipe in the latest Better Homes and Gardens ‘Canning’ magazine. Before I knew it, I was preserving this “Honey and Thyme Blackberry Jam.”

Cheese Ball or Cheese Log for Entertaining
No Comments | Written on February 19, 2013 at 5:00 am , by Kristina Vanni
I think I know your first question… ”Are those walnuts RED?” Yes!
I came across them at my grocery store and was so intrigued, I just had to try a sample. They are not dyed or genetically modified, rather created using natural methods of grafting Persian red-skinned walnuts onto larger and creamier English walnuts. Red walnuts are only red on the inside, the tree and the shells look just like your typical English Walnuts.
This recipe can be rolled into a cheese log or cheese ball, whichever you prefer! I used the red walnuts, rolled them into a log and will call it my “Red Carpet Cheese Log” for an Oscar get-together this weekend.
