blackberries
Corbis
A single blackberry, when ripe to perfection, has so much flavor that it's almost difficult to describe in words. It's sweet like jam and melts in your mouth. If you can, try to get blackberries from the farmers' market or pick your own at farms. These are worth seeking out, because they're worlds apart from the supermarket kind. But even if you can't find thoroughly ripened blackberries, there are a number of recipes that help them shine.

Blackberries are great at making friends with other berries and fruit. A combination of different berries in a pie or tart, for example, yields an amazing result. Just see for yourself. Our collection of recipes includes wonderful ways to use blackberries, in desserts like sorbet and ice cream, custards and crisps, pies and tarts, and more. Take your pick of blackberry desserts.
