blackberries


I went blackberry picking yesterday. There are wild blackberry bushes behind my parents house. There is only one problem, since they are wild they have thorns, tons and tons of really big thorns. I usually come away with several large scratches, torn out hair and a few stickers still left in me. It is never a pretty sight.

Over the course of the next few weeks I will get tons and tons of berries (I make my mom go out and pick them while we are away). Now I need to figure out what to do with them. I think I have made enough jam and muffins to last us a long time.

Maybe a pie or crisp?
