Blackberry Bank Holiday Weekend

Blackberry Bank Holiday Weekend

After breakfast it is my intention to spend several hours picking blackberries. I have already made 3 lots of jam with 9lb of berries. It now takes longer and they are harder to find and more difficult to access. When I get back I will make a couple of blackberry pies, and in the evening I will visit some friends for dinner and for sweet we will have a pie. I do have some apples to make blackberry and apple pies later.

  1. And there's me thinking you were upgrading to a Blackberry instead of eating them.
    Enjoy the meal.

  4. Hi BB: I wouldn't mind setting up a Blackberry farm...

    Cherrypie: I managed to get 3 x tubs @ 3lb in 3 hours. Sore with scratches and nettle stings. But with ice cream or cream they're worth it.

    DD: You will have to visit with Cherrypie and sample my home cooking.

    James: You missed an earlier post in which I mentioned your visit last year.
