Hello, I make body butter (cocoa butter, shea butter, avocado oil, coconut oil, arrowroot powder and vitamin E) and like to put essential oils in them. Can I store these in clear glass jars or does the glass need to be tinted, i.e. amber glass. Thanks in advance!
If they donât grow wild in your area, you can get the berries year-round from the produce or freezer section of your grocery store -- or maybe from a farmers market during the warmer months of the year. Depending where in the United States you live, ripe blackberries can be found from May through September.
The best time to pick berries in the garden is in the early morning hours before heat builds up in the fruit. They are at the peak of sweetness at this time and it doesnât hurt that this may be the coolest time of day as well. When to harvest berries depends on the berry type, too. Strawberries are usually ready to pick in June and may be harvested for three to four weeks. They are fully ripe when the entire berry is red. Elderberries mature in the mid summer, as do most other types of berries.
