WE're having BLT's tonight, using lettuce tomaoes and onions from the garden. I made blackberry sauce the other day, yummy over ice cream or with yogurt.

 

[HiDelight]

I made a huge pan of eggplant parm and really most of what went in to it came from the garden ..although I had to supplement with tomatoes for the sauce (since I only had a few ripe ones) and my eggplants while they did make up a bit of the layers ..I had to buy three more to make a huge pan...

I also made stuffed artichokes with lots of fresh garden herbs (I did not grow the chokes sadly)

blackberry jelly ...blackberry cordial ....and blackberry juice

I am picking a couple of gallons of berries everytime I go out there!

and my chickens and pit bulls are full of berries now

so am I

I want to do duck with blackberry sauce when my daughter is here

I made blackberry sauce, peach sauce and 7 quarts of pickles. Today we're having sausages with onions and peppers on home made buns, a salad and melons for desert. All fruits and vegies are from the garden.
