Blackberries and Dewberries.

[Clouston98]

I went out on a walk with the dog today and on the way realised that the berries were ripe and prime for picking. I read in a foraging book of mine about a type of berry that looks very similar to a blackberry but has a very disjointed structure and the balls of fruit are very large in comparison to a blackberry.it is called the dewberry and in my opinion is much tastier than blackberries because they have much more juice and flavour in them.

Here is a photo of them next two each other, the dewberry is on the right.

All the berries we picked in total. The lemon is for scale.

Dewberries are really nice. But then, so are blackberries

They certainly are especially when you eat them the day you picked them!

Nothing beats a good blackberry pie or crumble!
