Berries do not last long.
I wish they lasted longer.
This was my attempt to use the berries and hope to mask the tartness of the blackberries. I just couldn't eat them on their own they were so tart.
Natural reaction to tart: need some sweetness! I put the berries I had from the farm into a small pot with about 1/4 c of sugar and turned it on medium. I let the berries cook for about 5 minutes till they cooked down a bit.
Meanwhile, I made some crepes and a cream cheese filling. Man, this was a wonderful Saturday morning breakfast. Ok, so perhaps it was more of a brunch as the crepes took long enough to push the morning along. But well worth the wait.
Vanilla Crepe Batter (f/ Crepe Cookery)
3 eggs
1/2 t salt
1 1/2 c flour
2 c milk
1 T sugar
2 t vanilla extract
2 T melted butter
Combine eggs and salt in a mixing bowl. Gradually beat in flour alternately with milk. Then add sugar and vanilla extract. Beat with a whisk until smooth, then beat in melted butter. Refrigerate 1 hour.
Spoon a small amount into a well greased pan and immediately swirl around the bottom of the pan. Cook until bottom is slightly browned, flip. Cook for a few seconds on other side and slide out of pan onto a plate. Be sure when moving along that the pan is well greased.
Cream Cheese Filling
1 pkg cream cheese
3 T honey
2 T milk
Whip together on a high setting until well mixed.
Blackberry Raspberry Sauce
3/4 c blackberries
1/2 c raspberries
1/4 c sugar
Place in a small pot over medium heat. Cook 5 minutes or until berries just begin to break down.
