Blackberries, a favourite low carb fruit

Blackberries

These sharp yet sweet fruits are at their best in late summer, although many shops/supermarkets have some already. In British folklore, it was believed to be unlucky to pick wild blackberries after Michaelmas, on 29 September – so make the most of them while you can! They’re best stored unwashed, on a layer of kitchen paper in the fridge to prevent them crushing each other.

Delicious fruit cobbler. I have had that same glass dish set for years. I like its fruit shape.

I would eat that! Better yet, if I could pick the blackberries...even though I don't enjoy eating fresh blackberries, I love picking them.

I grew up with blackberry bushes in my back yard. Now I buy them at the store, but I still enjoy them. I just eat them by hand.
