Blackberry picking

Last weekend we met some friends to pick blackberries for jam. After spraying ourselves down with a sticky coating of bug spray, we braved the mosquitos for about an hour. Resulting in three, one-gallon bags full of juicy berries. Not counting all the pints we ate while we were picking. Layla couldn't get enough berries!
Afterward, I rinsed and froze the berries until the end of season. Which is only another week, or so away. We will turn them into blackberry jam. It's our second year making jam and I can't wait! It's so much better than store bought!
Have you ever tried to make home made jam? I'd love to hear about it.
