I am the lucky owner of a 20m blackberry hedge. Last years yield was about 15kg and thus year looks to be the same.

But here’s the thing, 15kg is far too much to make jam of, so last year I experimented with wine. I got this kit https://brew2bottle.co.uk/products/better-brew-hedgerow-wine-kit-23l and just followed the instructions. And it was a great success, everyone who’s tasted it have even been to nice to say it was bad or have actually complimented the wine. But I still have half the wine left and now it’s time for 2023s harvest.

I’m still considering wine, jam and some juice but… What would you do with a lot of blackberries?

    You could just leave them out for the squirrels and the crows, if you have those in your area. They love fattening up on berries in the fall.

      I know, and I don’t disagree with you. But there’s plenty of other stuff for the birds to eat, and we don’t have any squirrels, and the berries are right there for me to save a buck on in the winter.
