Blackberry Cereal

This is what I've been eating for the past two days -- huge bowls of freshly picked blackberries doused with milk (rice milk, in my case) and sprinkled with sugar.



I know there are all sorts of things to do with fresh blackberries like make pies, tarts, scones, and jam. But eating blackberry cereal is really the only thing I truly want to do with blackberries.



This is how I ate the blackberries when I was little that I picked with my Grandmother at the side of the dirt road that ran alongside their property. She'd plop us down at the kitchen table and pour milk over our bounty and sprinkle the top with sugar.

I don't know where the name blackberry cereal comes from. My Grandmother didn't call it that. I guess it's just me that calls it that.



I won't deny pie, but simple is how I prefer my blackberries.
