Franklin County has a county fair to be proud of. James and I always joke about entering our food in the fair. Well...just before fair time this year we had our first harvest of Goose berries. They are a funny looking little fruit with the shape and coloration of a watermelon, but about half the size of a grape. We had a bumper crop of about 5 cups, so we decided to make them into jam. We didn't follow a special recipe, just the one on the pectin box for "Other fruit". Much to our joy we love it! We submitted one of our 4 jars to the fair and took 2nd place. Not sure how the categories work but almost all (600-700 bottles) of the jam on display at the fair had a 1st or 2nd place ribbon on it. We'll take it none the less, but won't be watching for headlines reading, " James and Xochithl Frankman take 2nd place at the fair, with their amazing Goose Berry Jam".
