Re: How do you consume your blackberries?

We love blackberries i also make elderberry and blackberry wine, crumbles and jams, Jane and i visited Edinburgh a while back and they were promoting blackberry whisky oh wow we liked it too much !!!.
At the moment i'm looking into making fruit leathers to see if it's worth giving it a go.
