The blackberry harvest has been awesome this year – actually it’s been the only year we’ve had any kind of a harvest from the blackberries so it’s been wonderful to have so many. We’ve been enjoying them with sugar and I made a delicious blackberry cobbler. The hubby came in with a big bowl full and I wondered what to do with them. I was going to make a cheesecake but he also presented me with more carrots which led to my making a carrot cake (or two) so instead I went another direction with the blackberries.

How Was the Blackberry Recipe?
This was some seriously good sorbet. It was delightfully tart and still had the fresh flavor of the blackberries. I’ve already pureed a second batch of blackberries to freeze for a batch of sorbet sometime this winter. That will be a real treat. And if blackberries aren’t your favorite try my Strawberry Lemonade Sorbet. It’s delicious.
