Inspired by the fruits of the hedgerows.

It’s a good year for blackberries and I know of some good spots but I keep on forgetting to take a container with me. That doesn’t stop me eating a few choice berries and I’m quite good at choosing the juiciest and sweetest ones.
We used to go blackberrying as a family. Dad would have a collection of vessels for us to choose from. Not many people know that a colander holds 500 blackberries!
Today I remembered my container and came home with just enough to stew apples with blackberries. Lovely!
