Wild blackberries are a delicious but delicate crop, a favorite food of man and animals. Pick the berries as they ripen on the canes, soft to the touch and almost ready to fall into your hand. Berries with any red still in them are acidic and will taste tart. Leave them for another day. (AP Photo/Dean Fosdick)
Ingredient of the week: Blackberries
on August 17, 2012 @ 2:08 pm (Updated: 11:46 am - 8/18/12 )Many people have childhood memories of picking wild blackberries and the Seattle Kitchen Show staff is no exception.
"I remember carrying my daughter on my shoulders," says Tom Douglas, "because we would clip the blackberries high enough that we couldn't reach them and all of a sudden we couldn't reach them. So she would get up and stand on my shoulders and pick blackberries and we'd make Loretta's favorite blackberry pancakes."
