Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Who's picking blackberries this Spring/Summer?

Turkeys pick the ripe ones on a daily or more often basis here.

I picked a full gallon this morning: unseasonably cool for this time of year. I left a lot on the bushes because I didn't have another ziplock bag, I'll go pick more Wednesday. Two deer came out of the woods and were snort-wheezing at me from about 50 yards, I think I was in their blackberry patch.

I bought some cheap vodka, some pure cane sugar, and some quart mason jars and I'm doing the blackberry cordial as recommended above.

I usually end up bleeding when picking blackberries but that doesn't stop me.

21 pints today. 19 pints 2 weeks ago. That should last until next year.

Winner!! That's how you do it!!

My blackberry cordial will be done soon (in the jar since June 10). I'm shopping at the local antique stores for a nice old decanter.

Had two pies and a batch of blackberry dumplings lately. And some of cheesy's jelly
