WASHINGTON BLACKBERRIES!!

August 28 – Everywhere you look in northwest Washington there are Blackberries!! We even have Blackberries all around our camp site.

Note the different shaped leaves in the fourth picture. Barb, are these the Marion Berries you were telling us about??


Ken has been dreaming having Blackberry Pie, Blackberry Cobbler, or anything else Blackberry. So, yesterday afternoon we picked a bunch of berries. Today, it was a family project to bake a Blackberry Pie!! I prepared the berries and Ken did the crust!! We agreed it was one of the most beautiful pies we have ever made.

The pie was beautiful, and topped with ice cream, it was delicious; however, it was probably the juiciest pie anyone has ever made!! It definitely needed more thickening!! It’s a good thing we did not invite anyone to share it with us!! We will have to try again!!

Yup, those are just like the Oregon Marion berries. Your pie looked delicious! If you are still picking, make some into a berry syrup to use on your waffles!

Glad you've got your refrigerator again!!
