mmmmmm …. they look delicious! I just made muffins with some frozen blackberries we have left from last year’s harvest.
Nice! Did you grow them yourself? Do they go well with the climate in the UK? Here we always get berries from Spain
We are lucky, we can forage for blackberries, raspberries, bilberries, apples … and various other fruits in the woods and wild areas around where we live. Our fruit-picking season starts in July and goes through to September with the different fruits. The harvest does depend on the weather – we need dry sunny weather for blossom time but also enough rain to make the fruits swell too. Usually our UK weather works out, but we seem to be having cold winds in June this year, so we will have to see what happens with the fruit this time.
