Blackberry Delight
Just a bit of sun and those sharp, hard bullets of blackberries turn into sweet, lushious, melt-in-your-mouth packets of juice. Fortunately, blackberries seem to have evolved alongside our ability to eat them and have a way of spreading their fruiting period over several weeks. We can still see flowers alongside ripe fruit.
This is just as well because six pounds of blackberries takes some managing. Three pounds became jam, two were bottled or dry frozen (bite into one of these and it’s like eating blackberry sorbet – hmmm, there’s an idea…). The last pound was also preservedwith the help of sugar – and brandy! I think I’ll do another batch in vodka so that we can have fun at the comparison stage:>)
