A purply black-coloured berry comprising many individual seed-containing fruits surrounding a cone-shaped core. Wonderfully juicy, they're good raw (straight from the hedge!) or cooked and are bursting with vitamin C. Wild, they're often called brambles.
How do I get Blackberry ready to use?
As blackberries are very delicate, avoid washing them if possible, but if you have to, do it just before using them and drain well.
What about keeping Blackberry?
Arrange them on a layer of kitchen paper on a plate, so that they don't crush each other, and store them in the fridge. Take them out of the fridge an hour before eating, so that they're at room temperature. Eat within a couple of days of buying or picking.
How do I cook Blackberry?
Sprinkle with sugar and/or créme de mure liqueur and serve with cream; purée and sieve to make a coulis for ice cream or to make sherbets, fools or sorbets. Bake with chopped apples in a crumble.
