Answer 1

Hi !!!
Here is what we do with them...I know this recipe is simple, but it is really good...

Blackberry Cobbler

Original recipe yield:
1 - 9x13 inch cobbler

PREP TIME 10 Min
COOK TIME 45 Min
READY IN 55 Min

INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup butter
2 cups self-rising flour
2 cups white sugar
2 cups milk
3 1/2 cups blackberries

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Once oven temperature is reached melt butter in a 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a medium bowl stir together the flour, sugar and milk; batter will be slightly lumpy. Pour mixture on top of melted butter in baking pan. Do not mix butter and mixture together.
Drop blackberries into batter; if more crust is desired add less blackberries. Bake in preheated oven for one hour or until golden brown.

Answer 2

Rinse them gently, pat them softly dry...they are pretty delicate and they burst and bruise easily.

Then eat them raw as a snack, put them on pudding or ice cream, bake them into a pie or a cobbler or crumble or buckle. Blend them into a smoothie or whip or frost.

Mash them into a paste or pure and strain them into a coulis.

freeze them into a slush or a granita.

freeze them whole and use them as ice for lemonade.

stew them a little with onions and serve them with rich beef.

cook them with sugar and make a jam or preserve.

Most of the time though, I wash them quick, and eat the whole container like nature's candy!

Answer 4

My Gran has wild blackberries growing all along her road, so we eat them plain, make cobblers, cakes, pies, put them on ice cream. Here's a recipe I got off the 'Zaar in anticipation of blackberry season.

Blackberry Pudding Cake

1 cup sugar, divided
1 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 pint blackberries
3/4 cup boiling water

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Mix flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder and salt in medium bowl.

Stir in milk, vanilla and melted butter.

Spread batter in greased 9 inch deep dish glass pie plate (or 10 x 6 baking dish).

Scatter blackberries over the batter and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup sugar.

Pour boiling water over berries, place dish in oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until top is golden brown.

Serve with ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.


You can also make homemade Blackberry Liqueur. Takes a couple weeks, but it is ridiculously simple.

1 cup water
3 cups 80 proof vodka
3 cups white sugar
3 cups ripe blackberries

Shake together the water, vodka and sugar to dissolve sugar.

Gently mix together with the blackberries, taking care not to cut or crush the berries.

Leave to infuse about 10-12 days until the berries have lost most of their color.

Pour thru a fine strainer and discard the berries. (Or eat 'em on ice cream)

Pour into decorative bottles.


Blackberry Dumplings are good, too.

For dumplings: Combine flour,1 T sugar, baking powder, 1/4 t salt, nutmeg and milk.

Drop by TBS into berry mixture.

Cover tightly and simmer 15 minutes.

Serve in bowls with a dollop of whipped cream.

Answer 5

I love to eat blackberries with a little brown sugar and sour cream. It is the best!

Answer 6

Take your index (first) finger and your thumb and gently pick the berry off the vine. Check for bugs, (run it under water if you wish) open your mouth, place the berry on your tongue and close your mouth. Chew it or suck it until it's gone and swallow.

(That's sarcasm just in case no one picked that up) ;)

Mix them with a little brown sugar, a little honey, plain yogurt.
