Blackberries whats easy to do with them?

[EachandEveryone]

I took a cut through Ive never walked down before and theres masses of blackberries. Ive brought home three tubs now what to do?
How do I wash them and store them so i can do something with them tomorrow? Whats your favourite recipe with not too much sugar😃

Apple and blackberry crumble, lovely 😁
Also blackberry vodka, put them in a jar, with vodka, leave it a bit, strain it and bottle it... Of course then drink it 😁🍾

Following, as we’ve got loads around here
My mum’s friend suggested blackberry fool, she sieves the blackberries, to get rid of the pips

They need to be soaked to get the bugs out. Put them into a big bowl of salted water that covers them. You can empty and resoak in more salted water.

Leave them in a bowl a water to clean them and get rid of any bugs. Then drain and ...

Crumble
Pie
Gin - see vodka recipe above
Freeze them and put in porridge/on Greek yoghurt all year round
Ice cream (better if you have an ice cream maker)

Jam. Best thing ever with fresh fruit!!

If you want to freeze them, best to do it on a baking tray with them all separated. Once frozen they can go in freezer pot or bag, but just makes them easier to grab a handful rather than have to defrost a whole load.

Please,please do not make blackberry and apple crumble,it is the work of the devil.
Make blackberry crumble,we have just had that - absolutely fantastic it was too.Or apple crumble,also very nice,but why ruin things by putting them together

Make a compote.

Cook the blackberries with a tiny amount of water & some sugar. Mash it all up when cooked.
Lovely with any of the following: yogurt, porridge, ice cream, cheese cake, muesli, etc.

DD and DP like some blitzed up in a smoothie, the colour is amazing! Agree with the above freezing method, I do the same when we've been raspberry picking.
I quite like an apple and blackberry crumble occasionally but it needs to be 2/3 blackberries and 1/3 apple and a few chopped hazelnuts or almonds in the crumble.

Muffins, eat them warm - the blackberries turn to jam in the muffins. Yum!

Throw them away - food of the devil! (Can you tell I hate blackberries?) 😀

Another vote for gin

Last year I had so many, I made wine.

Thought ta the time "what am I doing??"

Cracked it open this week.

I think it will be a a regular thing!!

Here are my ddogs doing a bit of blackberry picking last year!!.

I wash them - open freeze in a tray, once frozen out into a freezer bag and perfect for putting in my gin

I had blackberries this evening with other fruit and cream, they were lovely. Blackberry and apple pie, tart or crumble is gorgeous.

Just wash them and dry them if you want to fast freeze them.

Bramble cocktails.

Soak them in salted water to get rid of the worms / insects. Might need to do this repeatedly over a couple of days. I would then make blackberry jam - yum

I've been making loads of Blackberry cobbler, it's amazing
