Blackberry Weekend

For a few weeks I've been watching the blackberries ripening, not quite getting up the gumption to get out there and pick them. This weekend, we worked up the gumption.

Well, I did. My assistant came along mostly just to entertain me and tell me stories.



And of course steal my hard-earned bounty when my back was turned.



We made two batches of jam, a pie, and a modified a zucchini-blueberry bread recipe with blackberries instead.



Yum. Berry good.
