The blackberries around Eco-Gites of Lenault are absolutely fabulous this year - I have never seen so many or so large and they taste fabulous. I am picking loads and whilst I love them stewed with apple on top of my breakfast porridge and have come up with a Blackberry and Apple Cake recipe I have been searching for more inspiration. Below you'll find the 10 best blackberry recipes I have come across from fellow bloggers. Read, enjoy and then head out and pick some blackberries!

Not all blackberry recipes have to be sweet. Here are some savoury examples I love:
8. Blackberry Garlic and Bay Vinegar will bring a really interesting zing to your salad dressings but can also be used as a glaze and with the pulled pork recipe below, both from Ema and Peter at De Tour Coeur Limousin:

9. Blackberry Pulled Pork - blackberries go well with pork so don't just save them for dessert.

I hope I have given you at least one recipe, here, to tickle your taste buds. I have tried 6 of them or at least very close variants but I want to try all of them now. I suppose I'd better get my basket out and go and pick some more blackberries then ...
Do you have a favourite blackberry recipe or any unusual twists on the ones given? Please do let us know in a comment.

I love blackberries, a good year for them in Brittany too. Thanks for including my self saucing pudding Rosie, I'm sure I'll be trying out the rest of the recipes in your collection soon.
ReplyDeleteI'm aiming to make the self-saucing pudding tonight.
DeleteGreat round up - still have a few left to try these out. Lots of elderberries in the freezer too. Any elderberry ideas?
ReplyDeleteThank you. ELderberries are in the jelly recipe for jelly from Ness at JibberJabberUK. If not google Pontack Sauce as that uses elderberries.
DeleteI must now try to pick some more blackberries before they all go. Some great recipes to try out.
ReplyDeleteThank you - we are planning to have the self saucing pudding tonight but I need to get out and pick more blackberries first!
DeleteTheoretically I love blackberries and you've put together soe yummy sounding recipes here, but I got put off a couple of years ago when I picked a whole load but didn't have time to do anything with them that evening so popped them in the fridge overnight. The next morning them were a heaving, writhing mess of maggots and i just thought "thank god I didn't make them into maggot jam the night before". Urgh. I shudder even now at the memory. It really has put me off which is annoying as there are plenty in our lane this year too.
ReplyDeleteOh no - apparently the odd maggot is not a problem but it does sound like you had a bad infestation there. Maybe they are worse down south. You could always substitute raspberries in many of these recipes and you could probably buy them frozen and so maggot free.
Deleteooh looks like a lot of fab recipes. i like the idea of blackberry liqueur and the vinegar.
ReplyDeleteI have made liqueurs using both raspberries and strawberries but never blackberries - with the amount around this year I might make some for Christmas presents. Raspberry vinegar as fab also.
DeleteOh they all look really good, I wish I had enough berries to try them all but I left it a bit late this year and I've only got one box tucked away in the freezer to liven up the deep midwinter!
ReplyDeleteOur local farm shop used to sell frozen blackberries that you bagged up yourself and if you have raspberries you could use these in many of the recipes.
DeleteYou've officially made me very hungry after reading that. I'd have never thought of blackberries with pulled pork! It's making me think of my mum's gorgeous blackberry crumble now after a huge Sunday roast.
ReplyDeleteSorry! I have not tried the pulled pork recipe yet but plan to. I made the self-saucing pudding yesterday and it was fabulous.
DeleteWell that's got me feeling fanciful! I'm sitting here with a rumbly tummy hankering for something fruity :)
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean - we had the self-saucing pudding at the weekend and it was gorgeous.
DeleteHI Rosie,
ReplyDeleteThese are brilliant Blackberry recipes. WHich one do I like best - that a hard one to answer but I really like the lollipop - what a great treat for kids and adults that is healthy and I can only imagine how tasty.
