Blackberry
Season
I
I have always loved sweet blackberries and enjoy trying out new ways to incorpo-
rate them into recipes when in season. They hold their own tossed into salads or
smoothies or served with cheese and crackers as an appetizer. I have spotlighted
the blackberry in the following recipes for muffins, salads, entrees, desserts and
cocktails. Enjoy the inky, sweet-tart juices from this healthy fruit—a vibrant
reminder that summer has arrived!
BLACKBERRY FAST FACTS…
Blackberries are in peak season from June to September.
Blackberries do not ripen once plucked, so choose ripe ones that are bright and aromatic.
Refrigerate berries in their containers and use within a few days. They are sensitive to
moisture, so it is best to wash them just prior to use.
