Marionberry Jammers: A slice of Oregon in Cambridge

Today I made marionberry jammers!  I used the Grand Central Bakery cookbook that the MacRae/Rowans gave me, and a jar of jam I picked up at the Made In Oregon store in the Portland airport.

For the non-Pacific Northwesterners, this is a marionberry (90% of which are apparently grown in Oregon):


You buy jammers at this place called Grand Central Bakery, which apparently only exists in Portland and Seattle.  In other words, a marionberry jammer is not really something you expect to see east of the Cascades, much less in Cambridge.  But today I got a slice of Oregon.

Tasty jam:

The finished product (turned out really well!):


 Yuki and I made a little party of it:
