marionberry jam

On what was supposed to be a quick run to the market to pick up dinner, I came upon the most luscious marionberries. What are marionberries, you may ask? The marionberry is a hybrid caneberry related to the blackberry that was developed in Oregon state. These berries are really popular in town for having the punchy flavor of an amped up blackberry with a tart edge.

Even though it was getting late and I had an early start the next morning, I managed to water bath can a few jars of marionberry jam before collapsing for the night. But oh was my morning toast delish!
