Blackberries are my favorite.... used to pick them from wild vines in our backyard in South Carolina by the pail full. My mom would wash them and my friend and I would sit on the back porch with a bowl of berries and a bowl of sugar and eat away. Yeah... I know sugar is bad for you but it was so good.

Chocolate covered blackberries.... nirvana....

Enjoy!

to pick them where they had a huge thicket on their property. We'd split what we picked and my Mom and I would make preserves from my share. Yum.

The best was like you described, in a bowl with sugar, but I always poured a little cream from our Jersey cows over mine. The taste was indescribable.

Cacao nibs with dried wild blueberries.

Just pop a nib in my mouth then a pinch of the blueberries and it's so yummy! No (refined) sugar and lots of anti-oxidants. I just have to make sure to not eat too many or I do get a caffeine buzz.
