This is so good on warm homemade bread. If you like both berries, you will love this combo. Only thing is it makes small batches. I have not tried doubling this, as that can be kinda iffy when canning. This makes great gifts as it is kind of unusual. For safety reasons I always boiling water bath for 15 to 20 minutes.
