My wife started making fireweed jelly again this year. It's a bit labour intensive but certainly worth it. She has made a few jars of it so far but our son seems to eat it as fast as it's made. She picked a bag of blossoms yesterday with our son and we sat on the deck and started the processing. After we picked off all the blossoms from the stems she then boils it and strains it. It sure smells good in the house while cooking.

We made fireweed jelly and syrup here too this year!
I'm hoping the next thing is rosehip jam....
Same here! Just waiting for the first frost to make them just right for picking. Same with cranberries. Although, while quadding yesterday we could smell the cranberries, so maybe they are ready a bit early this year!
Frost on the fireweed eh? I didn't know that made it better. We will have to try that. Thanks.
