short but sweet

We haven't had much of a summer this year in the Pacific Northwest. However, what we have had has been quite sweet.

Especially with some of these:



I was out picking more of my blueberries and I couldn't pass by the fragrant blackberries. I picked whatever I could reach without getting completed tangled and scratched by their nasty thorns.



Then I treated them the same as the blueberries: washed and frozen on a baking sheet. When I pulled them out of the freezer to bag them up, they got all frosty.



I loved the look of the varying shades of purple and the juice stains on the wax paper lining the pan.





I can't wait to make something with them once winter is here... a little taste of summer to remind us of what we have to look forward to next summer.
