We have a wonderful friend who has wild blackberries growing on her ranch. Every year she calls us to let us know when they are ripe and last week the call came in. We had several days of sickies so we had to wait for everyone to be feeling good and then we headed out. We picked for a little over an hour (final breaking point for a 2 yr old) and came home with almost 2 gallons.
I made jam
and cobbler
( I like a little cobbler with my whipped cream 
)
and we still have a bucket to freeze for smoothies.
Very, very yummy.
And totally worth the scratches 
We hope to go back for more next week.
Blessings.
I too have a friend who brought me blackberries (to make a pie), but myy dd wanted to make jelly, so we did. Hope it sets up ok, all the cans have popped, but jellies take so much longer to set than jams it's a waiting game! Cobbler looks yummy! My dd tried her newfound culinary skills on some blueberry cobbler a couple of weeks ago ~ it was to die for...

Blackberries are SO totally worth the scratches! I really want to get some more before they're all gone for the season. The one apple/berry crisp I made just wasn't enough!
