So a month or 2 ago I went with Lita, Vic and a couple friends to
Homestead Farms in Virginia to go peach and berry picking. Tons of fun. Great relaxing day, you get to picnic, get a hotdog if that's how you roll and just chill in the sun. Well, we got so many blackberries I wasn't sure what to do with them since pie isn't really my thing. I ate a bunch, smoothied even more, froze a huge tupperware, and with the rest I divided them into mason jars pack with a washed lemon rind and half a cup of sugar. Once they're all packed in fill the remaining space with white rum. Close tightly and refrigerate for at least 2-3 weeks occasionally turning the jar upside down and right sight up again to help dissolve the sugar. This soon becomes an amazing treat as the blackberries swell with alcohol and the rum turns dark purple. Try couple spoons of this over vanilla ice cream. mmmmMMMM
