Yahoo Lifestyle 30 Blackberry Recipes That Are Bursting With Fruit Flavor
Among the many berries options available at the farmers market in the summertime, blackberries are one of the more exotic (and less common) varieties. This berry is definitely a fan favorite, and summer just isn't complete without blackberries—whether enjoyed fresh by the handful, baked into a blackberry pie or blended for a blackberry smoothie.
We love blackberries not just because they taste sweet and delicious, but also because these little black fruits are actually packed with plenty of nutrients. Blackberries are rich in vitamins C and K and loaded with fiber and manganese.
That means a cup of blackberries isn't just pleasing to your tastebuds, but good for you to boot. And these 30 best blackberry recipes are just a sampling of the many dishes you can include them in.

When Are Blackberries in Season?
