We love the wild and we LOVE what grows in the wild, like these "oh so good" blackberries.
This year the crop was very minimal due to the fact that it hadn't rained in months, but there was enough for a few cobblers and jars of preserves.
Black Gold
I LOVE YOU !!!
(Can you guess who this is?)
"Oh, this isn't for me, I'm already sweet enough, it's for the blackberries"
Just thought I'd let you know that in case you were wondering:)
If you could smell what I'm smelling and taste what I'm tasting you would........
Into the jars it goes and maybe a little in the mouth, cause that's what all cooks are supposed to do or so I was told.
PrecisenessWe wouldn't want to waste, now would we?
Duct tape works for everything around our house.

I'll trade you a piece of yellow gold for a jar of black gold.
Pleeeease, Don't take a picture NOW!!!

a Hillbilly Berry Basher!
Hills,
Breakfast will be served when you get here if we don't pass out first:)
Aunt Mary,
Are you calling us a bunch of Hillbillies? O.K., we'll accept that(gladly), except I wish there were hills and cool weather to go along with the name, if ya know what I mean.
Not fair...we've given you strawberries...where are our blackberries!!!???
We will expect our jar on Sunday!!
Love, Tracy
Mmmmm...I'm jealous! I love blackberries! Enjoy 'em!
Yum! For sure...the fruits of your labors look delicious!
Have a great week!
Btw, who posts on here, most often?
Nice job....
Dearest Tracy,
You'll just have to come for breakfast or to Aunt Marys (the neighborhood Theatre). I've heard that's the only place you can get this black gold. I think the next showing is a double feature, one of the showings being "A Man Called Peter".
I love blackberries! We didn't pick any here last year, but we have some good picking sites scoped out, and are just waiting for them to ripen. The locals say it's supposed to be a bumper crop this year.
I hope they're right!
The jam looks so good I almost licked the monitor!

Ashley, Usually whoever does the posting puts their name at the bottom except for me (momma). I apparantly haven't learned that rule yet. Thanks a bunch for the comment.
Kati, You're too funny. I'm a visual, so it's actually REAL funny to me!! So, bumper crops this year huh? When is your picking season. We're always looking for an excuse to take a road trip:)

Those blackberries DO look wonderful! We picked some recently at Mama and Daddy's "Enchanted Forest". We have some growing ourselves now.
The girls' pictures are always so funny and your captions too, Tina!
I know there is not enough jam to go around, so we will have to make our own!
Love ya!
Molly
Juli, We'll enjoy some for you, too:)
Molly, you're right. Allot of "painful" work for a little amount of fruit, but that little amount is sure worth it. Have fun jamming.
