It’s blackberry pickin’ time again.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Last year was my first time to pick blackberries and I couldn’t wait to go again this year. So, armed with some bug spray, sun screen, and some bottles of water, we set out for the farm to pick-pick-pick until we had enough to last for months in my freezer. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Was it ever hot the day we picked the berries. I picked about 12 lbs. before I finally said “uncle” and gave up. It was hot as blue blazes, but did I get some beauties! A couple were the size of a golf ball and I had those laid out on a plate alongside a golf ball to take a picture for you and before I could, someone in my house and I won’t say who (but there are only two of us here) ate the golfball size blackberries.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I don’t know about you, but when I go picking, whether it is strawberries, blackberries, blueberries or any other kind of fruit I seem to get really picky.  I look for the plumpest berries I can find, stopping occasionally to pop one or two into my mouth. I don’t think I have ever seen a sign that says “no tasting”. If there were such a sign I would just hold my breath on the way out and hope they don’t ask to see my tongue. If they did, they would find a tongue stained purple from the berries I have been sampling. You have heard of “taste test” haven’t you? <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Why is it when we pick things ourselves the foods we prepare with our bounty seems so much better. I made my own peach preserves last year and can’t wait to do it again this year.  Even though I don’t eat preserves that often, someone will benefit from my making it though I’m sure. I don’t ever use acronyms when texting or typing but for this recipe, all I can say is OMG this is a delicious recipe.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So on father’s day my husband had something more special than his bowl of Cheerios.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Proof from my cell phone that I actually did go pick blackberries. We found so many that were 4 times the size of the above berries. I ate those though before they made it into my bucket.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Yum, can hardly wait.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Layers of bread, cream cheese and berries.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The egg\/milk mixture goes on next.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The sauce cooks until thickened.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Beautifully baked Blackberry French Toast.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
