Blackberries are tart little things

07/21/09 · Filed in Daily Grind

 

Oh, but they are oh so yummy! According to Google, the only blackberries in existence today are usually a few clusters of wires wrapped in a nifty plastic exterior. And they’re shiny! But I’m keeping it old school today folks, lest we forget the poor little fruit from which those blasted smartphones got their name!

Dylan and I got out earlier today and picked a few handfuls from the blackberry bushes in our back yard. We had a lot of fun, however I had to keep reminding him NOT to pick the ones close to the ground! We sure wouldn’t want to eat one that the dog previously lifted his leg on. Which was a shame, because a lot of the big juicy ones were lying on the ground. We ended up with a quite a bit though. (And um…I made some muffins with some, too!)

Mmmm, deliciousness

    Oh, blackberries! I am so jealous that you have them growing nearby. I have to eat store bought and it’s just not the same.

    I absolutely adore blackberries. My aunt had them growing in her backyard. I miss those summer days.

    The muffins look yummy! I’ve never had blackberries, but I’d be willing to try them in the muffins.

    Ok, I have a confession to make. I have never ever eaten blackberries. Oh well, I guess different countries / continents have different berries ;)
