Blackberries are coming into season. These are volunteers so they are a touch on the astringent side, not great for raw eating. Sugar helps cut that so last year I made a lot of blackberry jam. I probably have enough to get through this year so I’m looking for alternative ideas for long term storage. If not I’ll make more jam.

This year won’t be a big harvest as we cut down so much last year. This means there won’t be enough to make wine.

    I had a family friend of my Nana from Hungary make a dessert from blueberries before my eyes when I was 14.

    Rinse and place blueberries in a saucepan. If they’re a bit tart, add 1 or 2 Tablespoons of sugar. Warm of medium heat until some of the berries pop, creating juice. Optionally, add 1 Tablespoon of lemon juice. Remove from heat and let cool. Serve warm or chilled with a large dollop of sour cream.

      Oh, yes. Sounds delicious.

      I bet any kind of cream would work, ice cream, whipped, clotted, etc.
