Here in the Pacific Northwest, we are blessed with an abundance of berries — first come the strawberries, then blueberries and now blackberries. So, so many blackberries! We have a whole hedge of blackberries that I go out to pick from every day and yet there are still so many!
Believe me, I’m not complaining — I love having an abundance of blackberries — the trick is finding new ways to use them because I am running out of room in my freezer! Recently, I ran across a recipe for blackberry lavender ice cream, which I will be making this weekend. I thought you might enjoy it as well so I’ve posted it on my website under recipes -> desserts. Happy blackberry season!
