Black Raspberries

I've been an extremely neglectful blogger. So sorry! But here's a little summertime treat...

This year we've had a lovely crop of wild black raspberries along our fence line. For the past week or so, we've been picking some for cereal, yogurt, and just snacking.

Last night there were enough to pick 3 quarts at one time. Time for pie (and some left over for snacking)!

I'm not sure I've ever made a wild black raspberry pie before. The flavor is extremely intense. It pretty much needs something like ice cream or cream to cut the intensity. But, yum!
