I usually think of July 4th as being prime time for the berries, but noticed there are quite a few ripe ones on the vines now. I have several wild 2 year old vines on a ditch line I had cleared out a couple of years ago and they are loaded with good sized berries. Also have some 2 year old thorn less vines in the garden and it looks like they are going to have a good crop in another 2 weeks.

So,anyway, I grabbed a pail this morning and collected a few of the owners share. Picked about 5 cups before my lower back said that's enough.

Now, that's enough to make a BlackBerry Cobbler! Anyone have a good Ole Southern Receipt to share?
