The park was loaded with blackberry vines, and there were so many berries to pick! Others had been there before me to create paths into the thickest part of the vines, so I picked about six cups in about 20 minutes. I immediately processed the berries, and finished up with 7 jars of blackberry freezer jam.
Yesterday, we picked another six cups and it was enough for two blackberry pies. We saved one for ourselves (topped with Snoqualmie Gourmet Ice Cream from Maltby), and delivered one to our pastor and her husband last night as a housewarming gift.
Nothing tastes as good as fresh blackberries at the height of the summer season!
