Fraces for blackberry menssengerraces for blackberry menssenger

Hello! Anyone know what's happening here with my blackberries? Some are totally normal, others have this (pictured) - they are hard drupelets. It's earlier than usual for them to be ripening. I'm in a Midwest climate.

Hello! Anyone know what’s happening here with my blackberries? Some are totally normal, others have this (pictured) - they are hard drupelets. It’s earlier than usual for them to be ripening. I’m in a Midwest climate. Could this be sun spots?

I have two very unruly Navajo Thornless blackberries that I planted in the ground a couple years ago when I was young and foolish and unaware of what absolute tyrants they could be.
I get excellent yields (a little over 8lbs in the last 4 days) but they're a bit sour and not exactly the best for fresh snacking. I've been happy to make jams and jellies with them but will be digging them up this fall to start a patch somewhere that's not so in my way. I need to decide if I want to continue to grow this variety or if I should get something new...
So, what's your favorite blackberry to grow thats sweet and good for snacking? I have a toddler so preferably something thornless.
Also included my blackberry inspector, Pete, who takes his job very seriously.

⚠️ Disordered Eating- Daily & Weekly WW Points Consumed (Data compiled from monetized content):
1 WW Point?: Crazy Llama blended coffee with almond milk, sugar-free white chocolate, sugar-free vanilla, and sugar-free peppermint
4 WW Points: Mini pita with honey turkey & 1/2 slice Swiss cheese; sliced cucumbers with dry ranch packet sprinkled on top
4 WW Points: Doritos Tangy Pickle Chicken, red potato with sugar-free ketchup, and corn on the cob. (Sides covered with spray vegetable oil.)
3 WW Points: Blackberry cobbler with Halo Top ice cream
📢 For our friends at Meta, that means Kylea consumed approx. 12 daily WW points out of (up to) 30 and zero weekly WW points out of 28. This is disordered eating and potentially deadly messaging to her 141k+ followers. Food choices matter. Weighing yourself twice daily for years is disordered. Please demonetize and deplatform her. Paying an influencer to promote an eating disorder for monetary gain is wrong.
Recipes Shared: 1. Doritos Tangy Pickled Chicken

1. Blackberry "Cobbler" (by definition, this is not cobbler due to her decision to mix in instant oatmeal instead of a pie-dough or biscuit-type crust)

Comments: Kylea Gomez is lazy. In the year I have watched her lies unfold, there is always an excuse why she cannot complete activities of daily living. She lives in a small apartment, is not a caregiver, does not attend school, volunteer in her community, etc. Refusing to crate BB to accomplish tasks is her choice and a detriment to the dog. Using alleged vet bills as the reason is a poor excuse. A few thousand dollars is a drop in the bucket for this important public figure, influencer, and celebrity. 🌟 📷 😉
In regards to her kindness speech:
Kylea Danielle (Welton) Gomez worships at the idol of self. If you need visual evidence, please see the 1st image of the balloon arch shrine she built herself for Easter. ✝️ She claims she is unable to attend church for a variety of reasons. She lives in a state of self-pity and is easily offended. Due to her self-centeredness and selfishness, she is unable to enjoy special experiences with her family and during travel. Her ego is challenged and she cannot control everyone and everything. She lives in fear of accountability, the truth, food, and the scale. I view her content as self-righteous service vs true service. She wants your blind adoration and affirmation for all of her choices. Anything else will not be tolerated.
One day, she will be a distant memory. Until then, I will continue my mission for Kylea Gomez to be demonetized and deplatformed. Meta, take action.

It's been a few years since I've picked wild blackberries, there were a few bushes around my house but just not berries on them to pick... I saw the white flowers blooming everywhere this past April and started picking last week :D there's still plenty of red out there but I'll leave those for the birds they gotta eat too!

I have this berry growing in the back of my yard. Looks awfully like a blackberry but the caveat is that we did not plant anything for this to happen. Seeing what you guys think this is

Thrilled by my first fermented sauce — it kicks you in the teeth with a brief but powerful heat, then subsides to a beautiful tangy flavor that is blueberry lemonade-adjacent. I cannot express how much fun this was to make (and how impatient I got during the ferment).
In the jars - 2 oz habanero peppers - 3 oz ghost peppers - 9 oz blackberries - 16 oz blueberries - 2 cloves garlic
The peppers were washed and cut into medium-sized slices and I left the seeds and ribs out this time. I smashed the berries with a muddler, and flattened the garlic.
All of this went in with a 2% brine solution and I used the weighted ziploc method with four 16 oz mason jars.
This fermented for one week. By the end of the week I was in serious anticipation, but I’d love to work up to a longer fermentation for a future sauce. I cleared the pH test, and decided it was ready to go.
I had conflicting advice re: cooking the sauce, but decided to do it. 185F for about 15 minutes on the candy thermometer (with proper covering and ventilation!).
Once the mixture became touchable, next up was blending the mash with an immersion blender, then straining it through mesh. When I had a liquid of approximately the right texture, I finished the sauce with lime juice (3 fresh limes) and agave syrup (approximately 1 cup, which felt like a lot but was just right for the flavor balance vs. heat).
After that, into the bottles it went!
First samples have been on grilled chicken, crackers with cream cheese, and mango slices. I’m so pleased.

Name of the roastery: The Barn

Growing altitude: 1750m
Origin: Nyeri, Kenya
Preparation: Washed
Flavour notes according to the roaster: Blackberry, vanilla, bold
Roasted: 02.05.24
Ground with: Kingrinder K6
Brewed with: Ascaso Steel Uno PID, LaMarzocco X-Filter (17g)
In: 18
Out: 45
Sec: 35
Temp: 93
Flavour and experience: A souvenir from our last trip to Berlin. Due to the price of €15.50, I hesitated a little at first, but then decided to buy it because of the great flavour. And what can I say - absolutely right! The beans are quite finicky when brewing and need to be finely ground. In return, I can taste blackberry with an intensity I've never had before. It's really cool. Especially because I often find the berry flavours claimed by many roasters to be far-fetched. The other cupping notes are also correct. For me, the vanilla is more of a great sweetness that harmonises with the effervescence. Overall, the espresso has a rather "fat" mouthfeel for a Kenyan.
Buy it again: Definitely! Totally my flavour and one or even the best bean so far.

Made a standard vanilla base using the salt and straw base recipe. But added triple berry jam(home made Strawberry, Blackberry and blueberry) that was a bit syrupy.
Recipe was: 1 1/3 cup of whole milk(I used Costco A2 milk we buy for my toddler) 1 1/3 cup heavy cream 2 tablespoons Agave syrup(my preferred sub for light corn syrup 2 tablespoons Milk powder 1/2 cup raw cane sugar 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum 2 1/2 ish tablespoons of pure Vanilla Extract( I typically use vanilla bean paste but was going for a standard vanilla base on this and wanted to try something different)
For the jam: I used 1 pints of berries from the garden and puréed them 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice 1 tablespoon pectin(was not enough) 1 cup raw cane sugar
It all turned out exactly how I wanted. The jam was very runny and more like a syrup so it worked great for this but needed more pectin for real jam.

Tennessee, USA. I've picked these for years in my backyard. I use them for cobbler, jellies, and jam. They're usually tart, kinda bitter. I assume they're blackberries, but I've never known if I've ever seen a black raspberry. Help, please.
