Just bought some blackberries at Sams's Club. I bought it without having a recipe in mind. I like eating fruit as is but also maybe in a salad or something, any ideas?
We use to have them with a little milk and sugar- very simple dessert.
In cereal is very tasty, or oatmeal. I put blueberries in my oatmeal every day! If you have other fruit in the house you can make a lovely fruit salad.
Of course, there is always blackberry PIE!!!
You are a wicked man, Caine. I don't have any of those things in the house so now I have to go to the store! It sounds absolutely fabulous.I procured this recipe from a little dessert place in San Francisco called Sweet Inspirations:
Using a tart pan, make a dark chocolate cookie crust, then fill it with a semi-sweet dark chocolate mousse. Once it's set, cover the entire top of the tart with blackberries. Slice into 6 or 8 servings, adding only one dollop of whipped cream to each slice.

I live in the Northwest where blackberries grow wild like weeds. They are a real pain. Half of my 1/2 acre lot is covered with them. They even grow in the garage. I've fought them so long, I finally am satisfied just to keep them in check. This aside, I do use the berries (hard not to when they are coming through the windows)
So, I make blackberry jam. It's really quick and easy.
5 cups washed blackberries
1/2 tsp butter or margarine
1 package fruit Pectin (4 tbsp)
7 cups sugar
1. Place berries, butter and pectin in large pot and bring to a rolling boil, stirring constantly.
2. Add sugar and bring back to a boil and cook 1 minute.
3. Remove from heat and pour into sterilized canning jars. Seal with new lids.
4. Process 15 minutes in a hot water bath.
Makes 8 half pints. Much more flavorful than store bought.
