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.”
