Blackberries
cracker:
Cucumbers make some very fine relish.
Hillbilly:
Mike, the elderberry jelly is really good. I just made a batch this weekend, tastes kinda like a cross between blackberry and grape. I saw some kudzu jelly a while back that somebody made. Didn't try any of it, though. :)
El Destructo:
Steve...have you ever tried Beets? I hate Beets...but can't get enough of the Jelly
Hillbilly:
Never tried (or even seen) beet jelly, but I don't care much for beets in general. Like you said, though-sometimes the wierd stuff turns out the best.
