Recipe ideas from Michelle Darmody: Blackberries

Certain fruits or flowers mark the ending of a season each year. 

Elderflower blossoms are an indication that spring is drawing to a close and that summer is upon us, whereas blackberries denote the end of the summer months.

Blackberry bushes, also know as brambles or briars, grow well in Irish hedgerows, along country walks and beside roadways.
