I can make your crisp gluten free and then top it with soy ice cream. It will still be wonderful. Blackberries ripen here in late June, but I always look forward to them. Also, your jam jars are precious.~~Dee <em>Thank you Dee! :-) I have been thinking about freezing some berries for eating up during the winter. I need to make some more jam as my eldest son will eat them all himself if I turn my back! -Cindy</em> Oh my, all of that looks so good.

Maybe that means I should go look for a few good bushes... I think crisps and crumbles are some of the best ways to eat any fruit, blackberries high on the list. The ice cream is beautiful! I'd love to try it--any recipe suggestions? <em>Hi Pamona, I love crips too! I got the ice cream recipe out of a book titled</em> Prairie Home Cooking by Judith Fertig. <em>It turned out so good! The hardest part was having to strain out all the seeds before adding everything to the ice cream maker. -Cindy</em> Loved all the blackberry photos, very evocative of my own blackberry-gathering times.

We had blackberries out in the garden, and I recall how they stained my hands and mouth when I'd gobble them up outside. Your photo of them just makes my mouth water! Brenda <em>Hi Brenda, the berries did pose nicely for their picture didn't they! ;-) My daughter keeps getting all stained up whenever I take her outside. She goes straight for the bush and seems to know not to pick the unripe ones. It is very cute to see her gobbling them up! I like thinking about my children having fond memories when they grow up remembering our house with the wild blackberry bush. -Cindy</em> I grew up with fresh blackberry cobbler my great-grandmother made.
