Shari,

I’ve heard you mention black raspberries before and I had never heard of them. Maybe I’ll get the chance to “happen up on them” at least once. 🙂

I am definitely not scoffing your theory, I love your theory! Blackberries are pretty magical in any dish:-) Your pancake syrup sounds perfect to me! I am not a fan of maple syrup, so I usually just put applesauce on my pancakes…..this would be so much better:-) Hugs, Terra

Jackie….sounds like a successful sleep over with your precious grands. I have a similar “connection” to my Lancaster County Grandma….and my Aunts also……but for me it was black raspberries. There is no substitute for my pallate or my memory……and Florida doesn’t provide them anywhere……they “come in” early July…..for now I just have to listen to what all my cousins are making.and imagine……last year my sister picked some and froze them……then made me a pie in the fall……I savored every bite. .

Jackie…I’m so glad to know about this new scientific discovery! I’m going to run out and get some blackberries today! You’re a genius and should win the Nobel Prize or something!!

Maureen,

I know you miss your grandchildren. Thank Heavens for skype!

I think the magic might work if your grandchildren’s mother prepares your blackberry recipe and both you and your grandchildren eat the blackberry creation while skyping. 🙂

Nicola,

What a lucky lady you are to have a sister willing to share her blackberries. I’d to know what you decide to make with your blackberries and how it all turned out. 🙂

Jackie,

So true about the blackberries and grandparent connection. I am extremely close to my grandparents, and have fond memories blackberry picking with my grandfather. Of course when he used to take us in the hills of West Virginia, we would spend hours immersed in blackberry patches. We were wearing long pants and long sleeves due to the thorns, and got pretty hot. The mounds of fresh blackberries were worth it of course. We devoured them all summer long in many forms.

Now a days my kids are getting the blackberry experience, but theirs is thornless blackberries in my friend’s yard, where they can promptly go back in the a/c. LOL!

Cute grandkids you have there. My brother and his wife have 20 month old twin boys (identical), and I was blessed to see my nephews this past July 4th.

Your Grandchildren are gorgeous! I bet they really appreciated this delicious breakfast you made for them. My sister is giving me 2kilos of blackberries so I’ve bookmarked these recipes to try, thank you for sharing! 🙂
