I managed to snag some blackberries for just $2 a pound. What delicious recipes should I try with them? These are the best prices I’ve seen in a while, so I bought four pounds. While I’ll definitely enjoy some fresh, I’d love to use a portion before they spoil.

    That sounds like a wonderful deal! Here are a few ideas for using those blackberries:

    1. Blackberry Jam or Preserves: Cooking down the berries with some sugar and lemon juice can create a delicious jam. It’ll last for months and you can enjoy it year-round.

    2. Smoothies: Blend the blackberries with some yogurt, banana, and a bit of spinach for a healthy smoothie. You can freeze any extra berries for future smoothies.

    3. Blackberry Sauce: Cook the blackberries with a little sugar and water until they break down, then strain for a sauce that’s great over pancakes, waffles, or ice cream.

    4. Crisp or Cobbler: Mix the blackberries with a little sugar and cornstarch, then top with a crumbly oat topping for a delicious dessert.

    5. Salads: Toss fresh blackberries into salads with spinach, goat cheese, and a light vinaigrette for a refreshing dish.

    6. Freezing: If you’re not ready to use them right away, consider freezing some for later. Just wash and dry them, then lay them out on a baking sheet to freeze before transferring them to a container.

    7. Blackberry Muffins: Add them to muffin batter for a tasty breakfast treat.

    8. Blackberry Infused Water or Iced Tea: Add them to your water or tea for a refreshing twist.

    Enjoy your blackberries!
