Our blackberries are ripe and I'm looking for ways to use them or preserve them. Last year I made jam, but we eat so little jam it more seems a waste than a preserve. My DH suggested just freezing them and then using them throughout the year in smoothies or crumbles/crisps. Sounds fine and easy to me. I just don't want to waste them. And other ideas? Thanks!

Are they thornless or thorn blackberries? Thornless blackberries can be a little more tart which makes them great when adding the sugar for jams and jellies. I prefer jams but strain out the seeds. One of my favorite jams is the typical jam but adding cloves,nutmeg and cinnamon. I use it as a glaze. It's great on hams. I also use as a barque sauce on chicken.
