I have tons in the deep freeze from our crop last summer. YUM! :thumbsup:

I grow my own, completely organic. Raspberries, too. :thumbsup:

more and bigger berries if we had more rain. Now that berry patch is history, building everywhere around here.

That was one great meadow, rabbits, birds of all kind had a home.

You should taste my drewberry jelly.

Today I saw a coyote in the woods, came up the creek I guess. My dog knew it wasn't another dog.

I'll send you a photo. I always make a few pies in the summer, then give the rest of the berries away and freeze some.

Coyote??? We have foxes here, but Ginger knows to stay away from 'em. :scared:

I didn't think I would see a coyote. We redtail hawks, owls, rabbits in the woods, I love it there.

Near by is a huge city park with bobcats, coyotes, and lots of wildlife, this coyote could have come from there.

The coyote saw us and ran off, poor thing was scared.

I've got a question I put a blacberry bush in 2 or 3 years ago
it finally starting to bush out and take hold. How long before
I will finally have berries?

chart :7

I'm gonna try it when the blackberries come in season. Could you substitute Rasberries? I have more of them in my backyard the Blackberries.

Enjoy!

I've still got frozen blueberries from last year. I bet this would be good with blueberries too :D

:)

I love cobblers

I don't think these parts will have ripe blackberries for a few weeks yet, but one must prepare one's larder.

I think I just gained 10 pounds by reading the recipe!

I wonder if I could make it with Splenda instead of sugar. What do you think, BikeWriter?

:hug:

We used to pick berries as kids and one of our moms would make us this. It was always a big treat because we would spend what seemed like forever picking them so it was the "prize" at the end.

Thanks for the memories. :hi:
