My wife and kids are leaving for three weeks in Europe tomorrow evening just as the berries, tomatoes, and peppers begin to ripen. I don’t know anything about sauce or jam making.

I guess I’m going to learn.

    Have you ever made blackberry jam. I love the stuff. What about blackberry ice cream? It’s dark purple and, in my humble opinion, the king of ice creams. Just add the berries at the end or your ice cream will turn to foam.

      Funny you should say, I recently began making my own ice cream. And it’s also full-on blackberry season. It’s all coming together…

        Let me know if you need a recipe.

        I mascerate the blackberries with a tablespoon of sugar. I add the sugar and mash them up roughly with fork then let them soak in the sugar and their own juice for about 30 minutes. Add them right at the end because raspberries and blackberries will ruin the texture of your ice cream if you put them in at the beginning.
