Wild Blackberries
I pick quarts of them every year. I don't use them for cobbler though,
I just put a little milk and sugar on them and feast away. Bill junkyardcat wrote: We have wild blackberries all over our land (11 acres). Didn't even know those pesky stickers would give way to berries until I just happened to look down and saw them. My question about them is...Can we pick a batch of them when they're ripe and make cobbler from them? Or are they just good for the birds but not humans? Thanks! Angie |

Wild Blackberries
They also make outstanding jelly/jam/syrup, etc. When we lived in Arkansas
they were a breeding place for ticks, chiggers, and snakes. I mowed off a large part of my 7 acres, and transplanted some in a row of about 100 ft. I put up fence posts and wires to tie the canes to. Put tick granules around the area they were planted and mowed routinely. We had no problems with the above mentioned pests. During the second year I froze 10 gallons, sold 2 gallons, let friends pick another 4 or 5 gallons, and the wife used several gallons to make jam and cobbler out of. Have fun.

Wild Blackberries
I have been picking wild blackberries since I was a little kid with my
grandfather. He used to make jam, pie, and wine. I myself have only made wine, because my kitchen is to small mess around making pies, jams, or canning. So yeah, they are deffinatly good for people. Enjoy em'. -- Rob Smith, NY www.allwoodwork.com Woodworking, Home, & Garden Community "junkyardcat" wrote in message ... We have wild blackberries all over our land (11 acres).
