Blackberries...

What is your favorite way to eat them? Do you eat them raw? In a jam? As a cobbler or pie? We have tons of vines and I am trying to decide what to do with the harvest.

You don't like strawberries or black berries... hmmm... have you ever had them cooked in anything where sugar has been added? Like blackberry cobbler? Just curious because my husband has always been the same way until I started whipping up new recipes for him and now he is started to like different things because I am changing their flavor up with the flavors I am pairing them with.

oh lucky!!!!

when i was little we used to go out to the country and pick them. mom made pie w/ them and we ate them raw. 

when i was in montana in 2006 (my first time up there..lOl) Leland and i would pick these and his mom made wojapi (Lakota berry pudding). I've learned how to make it now & so whenever we have berries (fresh or frozen) i make Wojapi and frybread. Mmmm it's so good.

My oldest keeps trying to steal them when he pickes them with me. I have about 4 cups of fresh berries that I have already picked. I am freezing them so I can save them all up until I figure out what I am going to make with them. I am leaning toward making a cobbler for sure- I've never made one but my mom always did when I was growing up and they were yummy with vanilla ice cream- and maybe some blackberry muffins.

I love them raw. We have strawberries and we have been freezing those for later use. I wish I had a blackberry vine. My DD loves the, as well
