Where to pick?
Look out for blackberries growing on bramble bushes in woodland and hedgerows.
(Avoid picking any next to roadsides though - they'll be polluted by traffic fumes, yuck)

Recipes
Make sure you wash your blackberries well before turning them into tasty treats.
(If you've got time, soak them in cold water for an hour or so to get rid of any lurking creepy crawlies :O)
