My blackberry investment just gave me a massive payout!
There's a massive blackberry bush in my backyard and I just picked ~6 pounds of blackberries and there's plenty left.
Anyone got any ideas about what to do with a bunch of blackberries?
put them in the freezer, eat all winter
Once again, the conservative, berry-heavy portfolio pays off for the hungry investor!
If I were in your position I'd just eat them, I can plow through blackberries like nobodies business. But for a normal human...jam?
Cobbler!
make a blackberry liqueur
oooooh yummy!
Blackberry Cobbler was always one of my favorites
Pie
give some to your friends
I've given tons away already, I'm at a point where my friends and family don't want anymore lol
Blackberry jam is super easy to make if you have a candy thermometer or equivalent. I don't really eat jam on toast or w/e but do find it's a nice change of pace for pancakes as a substitute (or addition to) syrup or compote.
Sorbet?
Not at all what I was expecting and started to wonder if BlackBerrys were back in style or something.
I’m staying with my parents while ✨unemployed✨ and they just had tons of blackberries and now it’s tons of blueberries. In the last two weeks we’ve had:
Blueberry cake
Blueberry cobbler
Blueberry pie
Blueberry syrup on cheesecake
Blueberry jam on toast
Blueberry galette
Blueberry muffins
All of which should work with blackberries. Fuck I love blackberries
Hell ya! Keep up the berrymaxxing
Sounds lovely!
I thought this was going to be a post about someone investing in the RID stock lol
Lmao I planted 25 of them what have I done
Yeah don't plant blackberries lol, they take over the garden like crazy
Just curious. How many did you eat while picking them? I used to eat soany as a kid while picking them
One for the basket, one for me. Simple as
It’s a bear(y) market
wine
you just reminded me i have a bag of my garden's black and blueberry haul in the freezer still
do SMOOTHIES
jellies n jams n spreads
How big is the bush?
If you enjoy baking and aren't vegan, here's an old favourite recipe from before I got (diagnosed with) the celiac:
filled with

That all sounds really good, thank you so much for the recipies!
Happy to share them! Sorry about the busted formatting.
One thing I didn't specify, I usually injected the curd into the cupcakes as a filling before icing them.
Also, the curd and buttercream are both freezable! The buttercream will split when it thaws, but it's easily fixed by beating the shit out of it with a mixer (I just run it on medium until the texture returns to normal, paddle or whisk will work).
Blackberry cobbler, blackberry wine, blackberry vinegar, blackberry syrup, blackberry glazes, and you can even eat blackberries
Freeze them,.
Should be able to find some hot bath canning instructions for preserving them on a shelf (or in the fridge) in mason jars.
A half cup to a cup of fresh or frozen berries in a pan with a few table spoons of water, medium to high heat. Sugar to taste. Heat until boiling constantly stirring. Cook until its thick enough for you. Ta-da! Syrup!
Good in smoothies and in oatmeal.
Make some pancake batter, add some more flour to make it a bit thicker, drop some on a hot skillet. Let it firm up a bit then drop some berries and sugar/honey on top then cover with some more pancake batter. Flip it over. Poof, you've got some fruit fritter desert thingy.
I'll be trying my hand at making wine and cobbler. Seems like fun.
