Blackberries Recipes
Ripe blackberries will be brightly colored, plump, and juicy (but not overly soft). They should also smell fragrant.
To extend the shelf life of your blackberries, store them in the fridge. Wait to wash your berries until you’re ready to use them, otherwise they’ll go bad more quickly.
In most instances, blackberries may be swapped in for any berry that a recipe calls for. Just note that blackberries are slightly tart, so you may need to add an extra spoonful or two of sugar to baked goods, for instance, to make up for it.
