Truly therapeutic to forage and gather a part of God s wondrous bounty of fruit.
Healthy, nourishing and FREE so why don't the poor/deprived take advantage as the only ones we see here in west wirral s hedgerows are those who are able to afford to buy them by the hundredweight.
This years harvest is staggering, as is the raspberry harvest.

Pie, crumble, or something else?
My strong preference would be crumble. |  |

Love blackberry picking. Very therapeutic and very satisfying indeed. Great childhood memories of days out picking with family. Love blackberry crumble.
Interesting what Perch says about those who pick them - I agree. All I see up here in rural Oxon scouring the lanes and hedgerows are those who clearly could afford to buy them. Strange but true observation. |  |
| Oh,..Dave, what's occuring? |

Single cream I think you mean? Good choice but custard surely?
The way the blackberry tries to colour the custard its purpley black is a sight to behold!!
Llanmadoc always a happy hunting ground for blackberries. Plus raspberries but I think you need permission to enter the field they grow in. |  | | |

I'm always observing.
Keep eyes open at all times
Many feckless single mothers wouldn't know a crumble if it fell on their laptops
Simple nutritious dessert which takes little time | |

I can never get my crumble to be crispy and crunchy. It's always got a smooth-ish texture in the mouth.
I do all the rubbing of butter and flour together OK. What am I doing wrong? Oven not hot enough? | | | |

Just finished picking mine at the bottom of the garden here in South Bucks, going to take the kids for a walk up the Thames path now to pick more before we all indulge in Apple and blackberry crumble later. |  | | |

It's all about the mix.

Love blackberry tart that's cooked with freshly picked blackberries from local hedgerows. Just out of the oven when the juice is still runny..... Utterly unique and delicious, much better than apple and rhubarb tart IMO! |  |

Anything lurking in a blackberry has short shift. Wash them with cold water in a colender, then sprinkle salt on them, leave them for five minutes and wash away the salt.
I've tried grateing a little marzipan in the crumble, it's lush.Or try a tablespoon of oatmeal in the crumble mix for extra crunch. |  | | |
