My evening snack will be a little unique among those on this board. Earlier, I picked a pint or

so of wild blackberries along the edge of the yard near our asparagus bed.

A little sugar, a splash of milk and ----mmmm! Memories of six dozen prior summers.

I really do wish I could share, but-------

2. I read your post a little too quickly

and at first thought you were eating asparagus with milk and sugar.

Eww.

3. Splurge, go for the half & half. nt

4. my fav desert is raspberries with heavy cream; and powdered sugar sprinkled on top

..served in a champagne glass. Blackberries will do just fine!

5. Give us your address,... we can all come over for a blackberry party.

Is there ample room to park 6,000 cars at your place ?

Someone could bring vanilla ice cream.

Do you have enough dish and silverware ?

What a wonderful gesture on your behalf.

6. Sounds so good! Healthy too. The leaves are good for tea but I like raspberry leaf for tea better

7. I seem to remember something similar from my childhood.

The wild blackberries were so delicious! The store bought kind doesn't even come close.

12. So true. I used to go blackberry picking

every summer. For a few years I lived across from a rural road that led down the side of a country meadow. The wild blackberries there were so abundant that the guy I was dating at the time and I took several walks down that road and brought brought back enough blackberries to make pies, cobblers, and just milk and berry snacks. We had so many that we gave away some pies to friends. They were big, juicy, and sweet. Good toppings on ice cream, too.

But it's a bit early here for them. This is raspberry season here right now. Blackberries in a few weeks, if it stops raining enough for them to ripen.

8. Yumm

We always ate berries with milk/cream and sugar. We also picked rhubarb and dunked it in sugar to eat like candy.

9. One of the most elegant desserts I ever had the pleasure of...

…experiencing was a papaya filled with raspberries and creme fraiche - It would likely be delicious with blackberries, too.

15. Since I learned to make creme fraiche it has totally replaced cream in my cooking.

11. Pics or it never happened

Sounds delicious

13. Strawberries and asparagus also do well together

[csziggy]

14. Reminds me - I should go see how our blackberries are doing

These are wild ones, but boy, they were blooming like mad this spring. I bet the birds, rabbits, squirrels, and deer have eaten them all, though.

16. Sounds better than what Peter is having

he just picked a pint of pickled peppers!
