SOoooo cute Katy. I to love your blackberries. They use to grow wild in certain parks here, but most have been torn out. Messy to pick like the poem says, but so worth it.

That's for sure - my Dad used to make bramble jelly (fruit from the garden) and it was just heavenly.  On fresh bread and real butter.  Aahh those were the days, before overweight and cholesterol came in.

Love it--I do remember picking them in the Azores on a trip many years ago & making jelly with them.  Yum yum nothing like homemade

Thought you might like the poem to go with it -

The Song of
the Blackberry Fairy

My berries cluster black and thick
For rich and poor alike to pick.

I'll tear your dress, and cling, and tease,
And scratch your hands
and arms and knees.

I'll stain your fingers and your face
And then I'll laugh at your disgrace.

But when the bramble-jelly's made
You'll find your trouble well repaid.
