Picked the #blackberries from my driveway, the #figs from behind the house, and the #apples from the nearby public fountain.

Tonight @rxmel74 thought she'd try her hand at blackberry pie. I eagerly await dessert time!

Every time my doctor comes to the house for my checkup, and blackberries are in season, we let him pick as many #blackberries from our blackberry patch his nurse and him want. They usually each get a large Ziploc bag full. #PaulsYard #gardening

A very bad year for #blackberries - and now the #elderberries come too in dried form ...
Depending of the region, also the fruit harvest is very bad. Or fruits come too early, too small, and can't be kept long.#drought #heatwaves #berries #gardening #harvest_problems #fruits #Alsace #climateDiary #FoodSafety

Which eejit came out for a walk and didn't bring a container with him?

Call it a hobby, call it the result of growing up with Depression-era parents who grew a big garden, preserved a lot of food. Either way I do a lot of canning every year.

#Blackberries harvest time. I just wanted to collect wild berries. Only a handfull of berries has survived. 98% are burnt by the heat of the last days, dried, before they were big enough. 35°C in absolute shadow.

Am... am flabbergasted....
b TWICE
in less than a year... two plotters.. asked me what are blackberries for!! good grief!! one, an immigrant, was amazed when I told him they're edible and delicious, he made a disgusted face.... the other a local with the plot right next to mine, also asked what are they for. I said they're edible and delicious and grown all around you; offered one fruit from a box I'd just filled in from the nearby bushes, she made a face and refused.Goodness gracious me. I rest my case. Am not telling them am having a handful of them in goat yogurt, for breakfast, lest they run away in fright.
Picked up some new potatoes over a couple of weeks; thanks to blackbirds digging for worms, they pull them up clean and tidy. nice.

Traditional #Wojapi Recipe – #NativeAmerican Berry Sauce Made Simple
By Corinne Griffith
June 4, 2025"Wojapi (pronounced WO-jah-pee) is a cherished Native American berry sauce rooted in #Lakota and #Dakota traditions. Made from wild berries and gently sweetened, this rich, velvety sauce was traditionally served with fry bread but today pairs beautifully with pancakes, yogurt, oatmeal, and even ice cream.Dairy & Eggs
"Whether you’re exploring Indigenous cuisine for the first time or rekindling a family favorite, this simple recipe is a perfect introduction to the beauty of ancestral cooking.
Why I Love This Recipe
"There’s a deep simplicity and warmth to Wojapi that makes it feel like a hug in sauce form. It’s naturally sweet, full of bold berry flavor, and comes together in minutes using fresh or frozen fruit. What I love most is that it’s endlessly versatile—use it as a topping, a dip, or even a glaze.
"It’s the kind of recipe you can make in one pot, with five ingredients or fewer, and still have something that feels rich with history and meaning. It has the same joyful, flexible vibe as Caramel Apple Nachos, but with deep cultural roots.
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen berries
(traditional choices: #blueberries, #chokecherries, or #blackberries)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thicker consistency)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for brightness)Optional Swaps & Tips
- Sweeteners: Maple syrup adds a subtle woodsy note, but honey is more traditional in some versions.
- Berries: Mix and match what you have. #Raspberries and #strawberries work too, but for authenticity, lean toward wild berries.
Cornstarch: Skip it for a thinner, more rustic sauce. Use it if you want a pudding-like consistency.
Citrus: A touch of lemon juice balances the sweetness and brings out the berry flavors."Source:

#Blueberry plants are the one berry I don't have on my property (we have #Blackberries, #Raspberries, and #WildStrawberries). I'm going to grow the blueberries in containers for now, but once they get big enough, I'll add them to my mini #FoodForest!

BlackBerry harvest results in a drought year:
This is so disappointing. We usually get around 50 to 60 lb of blackberries every year. That carries us through the full year as we freeze them. This year we've got just under 24 lb. There are lots more on the bushes but they are hard and dry and not worth harvesting as they don't even taste very good. Not enough water. These were not really wild, as I did clear out the dead canes during the Spring to make picking them a little easier, but otherwise they have been sown wild and normally just grow on their own. I have never watered them. So I guess we're going to have to buy some during the year for our breakfasts.
I'm sure this will be reflective of the fruit crops all around us. This bodes ill for the price of fruit during the coming year. Sigh.
