old shooter Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 Here in Central Texas, we are about a week or 2 past the prime berry pickin', but never the less, I was out picking the last of them yesterday afternoon. I made a blackberry cobbler, and after putting a few scoops of vanilla (blue bell of course) on top, ate until I could hardly move. Life is great...... Mike sidenote: Picking berries is pretty close to picking up brass, a thought that went through my head all the while I was picking, instead of practicing.....

jhgtyre Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 We had lots of blackberry bushes when I was a kid. It is really, really tough not to eat more berries than you bring back! The threat of suspension of cobbler privledges slowed my brothers and I down but not much. -ld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rifter Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 We have an irrigation ditch that runs along the west end of our property, and the entire edge of our property is covered by about a 6' high, 6' wide bramble of blackberries. The guy that takes care of the ditch cuts them back every other year or so... it just slows the growth a bit. :-) My wife isn't much into cooking though... so I never get good stuff like cobbler. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinUSA Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 In England it's called Blackberry Crumble... My mum makes the best Crumble in the whole wide world (at least in my humble opinion) Have you tried adding some apples to the mix... Blackberry and Apple Crumble... SCRUMMY !
