Blackberrying

DH picked a load the other day.

We’ve frozen them, then I shall make them into blackberry coulis to eat with Greek yogurt.

When I moved to Cornwall in my late teens, as an inner city kid I was amazed that I could find food for free in the hedges. Lived on Blackberry crumble for ages!

Oh MayBee70, living-off blackberry crumble sounds wonderful to me!
In fact I could live- off any sort of crumble! My favourite though, will always be a Bramley apple one with lovely Birds custard. 😍

There were blackberries in our garden when we moved here and DH has cultivated them and added more.

We've picked loads already.

The raspberries and loganberries planted several years ago have had a very poor yield this year.

We have lots growing in an untamed area of our garden. Probably enough for a few crumbles at least.

My husband has just stuffed his face with them on his way back from our walk but I’m not keen on those growing alongside traffic fumes.

We shall have an expedition with containers to our usual hedgerows in the fields for untainted blackberries for jams and pies 😋

Have picked and frozen 8 cartons…

Too early here for brambles. It's usually September. We always picked loads as a family and mum made bramble jelly.

Blackberries and nettles both thrive in slightly acid and sunny sites.

@CountessFosco or just across a ditch 😉

Because someone always gets there before you and picks all the accessible big fat ones.
