Answer 2

I would try to make some muffins or a breakfast bread. Use any recipe you have for blueberry muffins, or banana bread, etc, but substitute blackberries. They are about the same consistancy as blueberries, so they would be equal in recipes. You could also put the blackberries in a small sauce pan with some sugar and cook them down, simmering for about 20-30 minutes. About 10 minutes in, add small amounts (about tsp) of a cornstarch/water mixture to thicken. This will make like a puree which would be great over ice cream, or on top of pound cake. Just make it as thick as you'd like.

Answer 3

Put two parts sugar to one part water in a sauce pan and disolve. Add a dab of butter and a teaspoon or two of balsamic vinegar. (a good one, not a cheap one) and then add the black berries. Turn it down to simmer and stir every 30 seconds until its saucy. This blackberry sauce can be served over ice cream, pound cake, cheesecake, and lots more. It can also be used as a pie filling, but use less water than if it was a sauce.

Answer 4

Blackberry-Buttermilk Sorbet
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups each blackberries and buttermilk.
Blend blackberries, sugar, and buttermilk, pour in a pan and freeze until solid, then scrape with a fork to soften and serve.
Blackberry and thyme with balsamic vinegar makes an awesome sauce for steak, chicken, or salmon. :)
Blackberries blended with a little honey, vinegar, and herbs with olive oil is a good salad dressing.
You can also make blackberry pancakes or make blackberry syrup for pancakes or waffles, just by pureeing blackberries, straining them through a fine mesh strainer, and adding sugar to taste.
I skipped over the obvious blackberry tarts and pies. :)

Answer 5

I live in Seattle area where blackberries grow wild everywhere.
We always jam a box in Kerr jars for year long eating on toast, scones, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Make sure you use a fine sieve or cheese cloth to remove those pesky seeds.

Fresh blackberries I buy buttermilk biscuits in the round tube shaped package of the freezer case of the store.
Roll them flat and place them in a muffin pan then bake to form small cups. You can then make your own lemon curd or buy it and scoop a healthy tablespoon in the cup and top with rinsed blackberries and whipped cream.
Or scoop of vanilla ice cream with blackberries on top.

Answer 6

Make a cobbler. Cobbler and ice cream is good. Blackberry jam too. Freeze some for later. So many possibilities.

Answer 7

Try a blackberry tart, I had one of those at my cousin's house, gosh was it good lol. Try looking it up on google or something, its sure to have some great black berry tarts.
