I collected a large bag full Tuesday evening. There seems to be a wonderful crop of them this year. Sorry to report that I made a blackerry sponge with mine. It was delicious with custard. Hubby was overjoyed (he has a sweet tooth). You could make some blackberry wine. There is also a plentyful supply of damsons and sloes this year, so plenty more wine making ingredients! And the hazelnuts are growing in abundance, my only complaint with them is that usually they are to high in the tree for me to reach. Happy gathering!!! Athy55
