Blackberry Sweet Treats

We’ve been loving blackberry season. This year we’ve had more blackberries than ever, thanks in part to warmer weather and how our landlords pruned the blackberry bushes this past year. Oh, it’s been such fun.

Oh, it’s so sad the season it almost over!

We’re been pureeing up berry sauce (and LOVING our new OXO Food Mill):

And making crumbles:

We simmer blackberries with strawberries or raspberries and maple syrup on the stove until the fruit begins to fall apart. For the topping, we like to mix almond flour, coconut flour, and rolled oats with coconut oil. We add nutmeg and vanilla extract, then stir in a touch of maple syrup for sweetness. Then bake it in the oven until the top is browned. Delicious!

And eating a pint (or two!) of blackberries each day:

We even ate blackberries for dinner the other day, just because we could!

It’s been delicious.

  1. Love the label on the jar!! And of course the purple tongued laughing girl!! She has loved blackberries her whole life — from picking them on the walking trail in Santa Rosa! How old was she then?
