Black Berry Dreams

If you've been following this Blog at all you know that we've been picking a LOT of Blackberries. A LOT.

We kind of got to a point where we either had to make something with them or Eric was going to get sick of eating them raw & as ice cream topping.

It's just so much fun to pick them, that I can't help myself so we went for the first option - Make something with them!

I went over to Tim & Kat's yesterday and picked about 5 cups and then came home to pick another couple cups for good measure.

Eric had been googling pie recipies all week, and so that's what we started with.

a "fresh" pie crust, some flour, sugar and 4 cups of black berries later, this is what the goo looked like.

I can almost smell the oven when I look at this picture.

And our finished product.

We were pretty proud because neither of us have really made a pie before with out the help of our wonderful Mommies.

Eric then went on to make an entire jar of blackberry preserves and a half of ziploc bag of blackberry syrup.

and guess what? We're going picking again tonight to put some in the freezer.

I only wish I ate blackberries.

In Other news, Our Cat and Dog decided to be cute today :). Happy Monday Everyone!
