A. Jam
B. Crumble
C. Other recipe suggested?


Edit // The 2 contenders are
A. Pies and profit
B. Blackberry Syrup

I just find that they rarely add to the taste of the meat. Same thing for fish. I like them with very little condiments.

I'd go with Dijon & Creme Fraiche reduced in the same pan the steak was cooked in.

Tastes fab.

# ha ha ha - you old lush!
there is one question which makes all others redundant:

'can it be fermented?'

anything!

plus because alcohol is a side product, you can always distill and enjoy

Do what Ma riverghost used to so. Blackberries and brambley apples made what you have there, thicken a bit and serve with lots and lots of custard on top. She called it Springbank Splodge:D

Was yummy

... but blackberry gin? Like sloe gin, only with, er, blackberries. Uncooked would be better, but I don't see any reason in principle why cooked shouldn't work.

Or how about straining the syrup for ice-cream saucy goodness?
