Year of the Blackberry

 I've never seen so many blackberries--or such good blackberries. I'm making the most of them:

• blackberries in Summer pudding
• steamed blackberry pudding
• lamb casserole with a blackberry and red wine sauce
• "oat-gurt" with honey and blackberries

To come:

• blackberry fool
• blackberry sorbet

I may even have to make blackberry jelly.

Today's quick pick (about a kilo gathered) also included a decent portion of wild plums.
