Hot tea is good this way. <br />You get the great taste of good tea plus the great infusion of the berries. <br /><br />Then chill the tea and add ice cubes made of the iced tea for a Delicious and healthy treat that is not diluted.<br /><br />Mrs. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-29749148041419290602012-08-25T16:53:28.057-07:002012-08-25T16:53:28.057-07:00Oh my, this post is so wonderful!

We all loved blackberry season because my Mum made lots of pies and tarts and trifles with the berries. We liked to eat then straight off the vine..( can be a bit messy though).<br />Have a good week <br />Barb from AustraliaBarbara Neubeckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12129774816143303590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-26159669005243046222012-08-23T19:43:08.604-07:002012-08-23T19:43:08.604-07:00Lydia, such a pretty post!

All along the dirt road from the highway to the cottages, were blackberry bushes. Ate more than made it back to the kitchen. We had a blackberry bush at home as well. <br /><br />There are blackberries grown on the coastal plain near Camarillo CA. The plants are staked and then they are grown under fabric covers so the seagulls amulbunny's random thoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10621932038345682056noreply@blogger.com
