It's a big hit with everyone, and my husband has declared it even better than the traditional cobbler we both grew up with....which is great since the crumble is so easy to make. We live near Phoenix, AZ and he planted blackberry vines about 3-4 years ago. I never dreamed that they would survive! The first year, we got like one berry, the next maybe a handful. This year they were covered in big juicy berries and I was able to freeze quite a few. I grew up in MO and picking them here is nothing like back home! They grow on our back fence, there are no weeds or even grass to wade through, no ticks, no chiggers, no thorns on the bushes, & it's shady, too! And, for whatever reason, the local birds weren't interested! The grandkids loved picking & eating them, it's wonderful to be able to show them where food really comes from! Thanks for a great recipe! We love the blackberry crumble!

It's going to be boiled, so it won't hurt anything. I sure wouldn't throw it away!

I picked blackberries today but saw a few that had worms. I picked some out and froze the rest of the berries. If there were some I am sure there are more. I believe the worms are from fruit flies because I saw them flying around some of the berries. If you boil them will it hurt if there are a few left? I would hate to throw it all away.. I picked massive...... HELP!! Nancy Have a problem. I picked blackberries today but saw a few that had worms. I picked some out and froze the rest of the berries.
