I find the question “What’s your favorite color” very hard to answer. I like all colors–it just depends on what the color is on. Today I like black–the glossy black of yummy blackberries!
There is a patch of thornless blackberries on the farm, planted about 3 years ago. I harvested a few berries for the on-farm pickup members last Friday, but today I picked almost a gallon of the sweet fruits for Tuesday’s share boxes. The coffee containers like the one pictured are really handy to strap a belt through the handle, hook it around your waist, and voila! Hands free picking 🙂
I posted a really good recipe for Blackberry Crisp last year. It’s called “Blackberry Time in Tennessee”. It’s easy and delicious, especially with vanilla ice cream. Click on recipes and you’ll find it.
