Default Berry picking (for jam/syrup)...

with a 6 year old induces serious exhaustion

Hope they survive the night in the fridge, because processing them is not happening tonight

If you are too tired to get to them today, you can freeze them in a single layer, unwashed, then after they are frozen, put them in freezer bags. Washed berries turn into a frozen mass of solid berry. Jam and syrup can easily be made from frozen and thawed berries. Yum!

Mmmm. My 7 yo and I picked tons of berries last week! I'm totally berried out! Hubby helped a little, but he's recovering from surgery so not up to much. Anyway, we got about 13 pounds of black and red raspberries picked last week. I made crepes one night, Raspberry cream cheese muffins another night, YUM!, and some mixed berry jam, and then froze the rest of them. Mmmmm mmmmmmm mmmmmm
