This is LeeAnn’s Jam

Sum­mers here at Mas­sas­oit may be qui­et, but our Edi­ble Gar­den at the Brock­ton cam­pus is pro­duc­ing in full force! Our mul­ber­ry trees (Morus rubra) pro­duce an incred­i­ble amount of fruit, par­tic­u­lar­ly in mid- to late June. Pro­fes­sor LeeAnn Grig­gs, STEM Schol­ars Coor­di­na­tor, took advan­tage of this sea­son’s yield, har­vest­ing mul­ber­ries and black rasp­ber­ries from the gar­den to make jam at home (recipe link; add mul­ber­ries). See below for pho­tos of her process!
