Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)
WHAT ARE PICKLED BLACKBERRIES?
A pickled blackberry is just exactly what it sounds like, a blackberry that is quick pickled in vinegar and sugar. Perfect for any salad, creamy drink, ice cream topping or creamy pie topping.
HOW TO MAKE PICKLED BLACKBERRIES ?
Pickled Blackberries are made by submersing blackberries in a mixture of vinegar and sugar which pickles the blackberries almost immediately. Blackberries will remain usable for about a month.
Are These Canned Pickled Blackberries?
You do not can these in a water bath or pressure canner. They are instead pickled as a method of preserving them. No need for canning.
Can I Process These In a Waterbath Canner to Make Shelf Stable?
Actually, I have never tried that. I believe the blackberries would be pretty delicate and wouldn’t hold up to the heat so well.
Can I Use Frozen Blackberries for This Recipe?
Yes, you can, but they won’t look as plump as these photographs, but will still taste good. Once frozen fruits are thawed, they are usually kind of limp.

A VERSE TO SHARE
So, this week I am in Salt Lake City, Utah for a food conference. During my free time yesterday, I visited the Mormon Temple, heard a recording of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and visited the HUGE statue of Jesus in the museum.
While I am not Mormon and I don’t believe in all of their teachings, I do really enjoy their grounds and appreciate their peaceful ways.
While visiting their US flag, I noted the backdrop of the flag, a huge stone tablet that includes the following:
THE WAY
…”Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy mind. This is the first great commandment and the second is like unto it, Love thy neighbor as thyself”.
THE ONLY THING I HAVE TO SAY IN RESPONSE IS…
Amen, Mormons. Amen.
