I am going to be seeing blackberries in my sleep tonight. Me and my daughter went to our camp to pick this afternoon and I got about 2 gallons. I already had a full drawer in the freezer from last year. The other day I made 3 berry jam and tonight I mixed up a batch of wine to use up some of the older berries. There are still tons of them out there, but I don't know if I'll be able to get up again soon enough. It looks like nobody else has been picking them this year. We usually see where other people have driven in the road, but not this year. I was hoping I'd still be laid off when they got ripe so I'd have plenty of time to pick and take care of them. I wasn't that lucky! I might make another batch of jam tomorrow. I don't like to have them all in the freezer in case the power goes out. Does anybody know how to make pie with canned berries? I canned a bunch a few years ago and still haven't used them because I wasn't sure how to use them for baking. I don't have room for any more in the freezer, but I hate to see them go to waste.
