There's a massive blackberry bush in my backyard and I just picked ~6 pounds of blackberries and there's plenty left.
Anyone got any ideas about what to do with a bunch of blackberries?

    If I were in your position I'd just eat them, I can plow through blackberries like nobodies business. But for a normal human...jam?

    Blackberry jam is super easy to make if you have a candy thermometer or equivalent. I don't really eat jam on toast or w/e but do find it's a nice change of pace for pancakes as a substitute (or addition to) syrup or compote.

    Not at all what I was expecting and started to wonder if BlackBerrys were back in style or something.

    I’m staying with my parents while ✨unemployed✨ and they just had tons of blackberries and now it’s tons of blueberries. In the last two weeks we’ve had:

    Blueberry cake
    Blueberry cobbler
    Blueberry pie
    Blueberry syrup on cheesecake
    Blueberry jam on toast
    Blueberry galette
    Blueberry muffins

    All of which should work with blackberries. Fuck I love blackberries
