Why? Because you can! And pickle, and jam, or otherwise celebrate the resurgence of the domestic arts our forebears held so dear. Put on your best apron and step into our kitchen, won't you?
This is how I made my own alcoholic brew from foraged wild blackberries. I use the term "cider" loosely here, since there is no actual apple juice involved. It has great flavor and carbonation, and was a fun and easy home projec
Spicy sweet dipping sauce or dressing. This one has too many variety options to mention. Make it my way first, then make it your own perfect sauce! This one is made to be the color of fun :)
I combined wild blackberries and chipotle chiles to create a warm, smoky, flavorful jelly. This is a great substitute for cranberry sauce and tastes amazing on a turkey sandwich or in a glaze for ham or turkey. Made with low-sugar pectin, too!
Armenian (or Himalayan) Blackberry is categorized as one of the true terrors of invasive plant species, but the berries are so sweet and tart, that they make outstanding jams and jellies.
Try any of these blackberry infusions: Blackberry Bourbon, Blackberry Mojito (with rum, lime, and mint) or Blackberry-Lemon Brandy/Vodka. These might just give you some inspiration to try a recipe of your own!
