Wild Summer Blackberries

We have the best of both worlds.
While we don't live in the country...
...a little bit of country is a part of our new home neighborhood community.
Just around the corner are bike trails edged with wild berries....
This past week, the berries turned beautifully ripe for the picking.
see what we were able to make...


 My youngest and I love to walk and go bravely pickin' amongst the briars.
 The plumpest always seem just out of reach...
 But the sharp barbs are worth the prize...
 Beautiful blackberries...
My youngest, {age 12 and a future Barefoot Contessa}, prepared these mini-pies.
 She likes hers plain...
 For me, a little Greek Yogurt on top... 
 Unbelievably delicious...
 the taste of blessings from summer...

    Oh my goodness--I sooooo miss wild blackberries. We picked and picked every summer. My mother made jelly, and I made blackberry dumplings--delicious, although not nearly as beautiful as your daughter's pies! Thank you for linking up with Sunday View.
