Last week, we hopped in the car to drive an hour to pick blackberries. We like taking adventures and seeing new things.
The blackberries are in abundance around Texas now.
The farm’s berry bushes were so nice and trimmed, no cutting yourself at all. And talk about huge berries!
Not only do we have fond memories of berry picking with friends, but also a yummy cobbler!
I found this recipe on Tasty Kitchen, by Karly and boy is it yummy! It’s almost like a jelly doughnut. I also want to make this cake again!
If you live in the DFW area, I highly recommend visiting Duck Creek Blackberry Farm.
It’s a family owned farm and they are super nice! They are open tonight… Tuesday the 15th from 6pm -8pm and Saturday June 19th from 7am-10am.

I wish I had access to blackberries! I just paid $3 for 12 oz. I don’t think ours grow until later in the summer.

These look yummy! I used to make raspberry jam when we lived in Michigan, but I haven’t been able to find raspberries since we moved to Texas. Maybe I’ll try making blackberry jam instead. 🙂
