<div class="aplus"> <div class="three-fourth-col"> <h4>Blackberries</h4> <p>Blackberries are known by a variety of different names including brambleberries, dewberries, and thimbleberries.</p> <h5>How to ripen</h5> <p>These plump, colorful berries are plucked from prickly cane bushes when they're ripe, so it's best to enjoy this tart summer treat as soon as possible.</p> <h5>How to store</h5> <p>Don't wash berries until you're ready to use them. To keep fresh, place in a single layer, loosely cover, and store in the produce drawer.</p> <p>Blackberries also hold up well in the freezer. Gently wash the berries in a colander and dry on paper towels. Arrange the dry fruit on a cookie sheet, so they aren't touching each other and freeze overnight. Store in a sealed plastic bag and use in smoothies or milkshakes. The frozen berries brighten up a bowl of oatmeal during winter months.</p> <h5>How to prep</h5> <p>Place blackberries in a colander and then dip in a bowl of cold water to wash. This will avoid crushing the berries which can happen under running water. Blackberries have a lot of pucker power to go along with those powerful antioxidant properties, so they benefit from a sprinkle of sugar to tame the tartness.</p> <h5>Chef's tip</h5> <p>Show off the berry's versatility by making a quick pickle to toss with a green salad:</p> <ul> <li>Gently mash 6-10 berries and sprinkle with a teaspoon of sugar and a few twists on a black pepper grinder</li> <li>Add 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar and let the mixture marinate for 5 minutes</li> <li>Toss with 4 cups of arugula, spinach or romaine</li> <li>Drizzle with 1/4 cup of olive oil and toss</li> <li>Season to taste with salt and additional pepper</li> </ul> <p>Serves four as a starter.</p> </div> </div>
