Did I pick enough blackberries? Is there even such a thing as enough blackberries?

I just found out (courtesy of a neighbor with a talent for mixology) that muddled blackberries are a delightful “secret ingredient” for mint juleps!

More than I picked today, and mine were enough(with apple) for a crumble. And they freeze well.

That's the blackberries you eat while you're picking the main blackberries!

Kilo of Blackberries, a kilo of elderberries and a kilo of sugar and wine yeast in a Demi John. Ferment and bottle. It’s like drinking port. Always drink it standing up because you get drunk from the ankles up and that way you know when to stop. Pretty strong stuff but delicious.

They grow wild in our garden thanks to two of our former dogs eating them off brambles on the common and depositing them in a convenient package in the bushes 🙄. It’s an ongoing battle.
