Over this past weekend, we all went blackberry picking at this great local places that offers them as high as you can mound them in your quart container as well as all you can eat. We certainly walked away with our money's worth!
Since we have blackberries galore, now, I needed to come up with a way to use a few immediately. I decided to make popsicles. This is not much of a recipe. More like, mash some blackberries... Add a couple table spoons of sugar... Freeze. That's my kind of cooking!!
I filled up a 1 quart pot with blackberries and heated them on low-med while I mashed them up. Then I added just enough sugar to make them nice and sweet. I poured the content into a measuring cup with a spout to make pouring it into the tiny popsicle mold less messy. (The liquid amount of berries turned out to be just around 2 cups).
Freeze, and you get a delicious, quick, and healthy treat.
Do you have anywhere near you where you like to pick fresh fruit? What are your favorite things to do with blackberries? We have all of ours frozen on trays until further notice!
