Ripening Dewberries
We visited our good friend Mark a couple weekend ago, and he showed us the wondrous berries ripening in the yard. If I got the story correct, his partner Bruce transplanted the berries from a family member’s yard, and the berries have now become well-established in their backyard garden.
Jim and I were not previously familiar with these brambles, which are dewberries or wild blackberries, but we eagerly sampled them. They were large and juicy and very tasty!
Mark has been saving up the ripe berries (for the most part) in the freezer, and I plan to reward him with a special home-made dewberry pie. I’ll be doing research to come up with a couple of recipes to compare and perfect!
