Blackberry ideas needed
-
Thanks for the recipe but what is 250ml of berries? Just fill to the 250ml line or mash them?
It’s a loose measurement. I generally use about a cup of berries. Something in that range. More isn’t a bad thing. The most important thing is to add the berries at the end. If you put them in at the beginning your ice cream gets a weird, foamy texture.

If you’re American it’s 2 cups whipping cream, 4 cups half and half, 1 1/2 cup sugar, and 1 tablespoon vanilla. 1 cup of berries and 1 tablespoon of sugar to mascerate.

This means there won’t be enough to make wine.
Get some good honey and then make mead flavored with blackberries instead
Just adding to this, Golden Hive Mead on YouTube has a great follow along including a blackberry mead.

Blackberries are coming into season. These are volunteers so they are a touch on the astringent side, not great for raw eating. Sugar helps cut that so last year I made a lot of blackberry jam. I probably have enough to get through this year so I’m looking for alternative ideas for long term storage. If not I’ll make more jam.
This year won’t be a big harvest as we cut down so much last year. This means there won’t be enough to make wine.
If you drink, a simple syrup to use with cocktails

If you have space in your freezer, freeze them in portions for quick ice cream: use a blender with about equal parts yoghurt and frozen blackberries, sugar to taste (depends on the berries)

So, OP, what did you decide on?
-
Nothing yet. Still collecting more and freezing for later.

I just made a standard peanut butter and jelly with crunchy peanut butter and raspberry jam. I simply added a layer of the black berries in. It worked pretty well. It wasn’t until the last bites that the acridness started to surface.
