I just got back from the grocery store. This discussion had set off a craving for seedless raspberry. Graham had mentioned that President's Choice makes a good one, and Zehrs carries President's choice, so I went looking for it. There was no seedless. However, there was both Smuckers and PC. The PC was on sale so I got that. Incidentally, it was one of those two for a certain price, but you hat to get two to get the deal. |

It's a good thing President's Choice is a Canadian brand, and not American. It would have suffered greatly in the past couple of years. |

That is not what I said, last time I bought it, it was around 3.79, a couple of months ago, now it's gone up. Has nothing to do with what you posted above. Cheri |

I don't know why you even bother eating as you don't like most foods. Raspberries are wonderful...full of flavanoids (spelling) and vitamins. We in the western world are so spoiled...if we had to struggle daily for food we would appreciate our abundance and variety. ==== |

I had at least a peck of each and made preseves from > most of them. My parents grew black currants and my mother made jam and jelly with them. Unlike berries that continue to produce for a few weeks, black currants tend to ripen all at the same time. There is no need to pick and choose the ripe ones, you take them all. They also ripen around the end of July here, the hottest, most humid time of year. Mom found the easiest way to deal with them was to go out in the morning and cut the heavily laden branches and take them up to the deck and sit in the cool shade while she stripped the currants off the branches and directly into a bowl. Currant bushes are pretty robust and need pruning anyway, so they would grow back and produce even more fruit the next year. |

I don't know what that meant, but they were a bit furry, less bright red and sweeter than supermarket raspberries. Very nice. |
