I'm buying a couple of baskets tomorrow AM HIDDY Dec 16, 11, 6:39 pm Wonderful crop of blackberries in our garden this season. My wife has been making some jam with them. The Argentinians seem to call them raspberries for some reason. :confused: slawecki Dec 17, 11, 2:02 pm There's a new crop in from Mexico. Incredibly juicy, sweet and the size of my thumb.

The Argentinians seem to call them raspberries for some reason. :confused: Raspberries and Blackberries were all beautiful this morning at the Farmer's Market. The raspberries were unusually large and very very sweet. skchin Dec 20, 11, 1:46 pm My local Meijers had these for 50 cents a carton. Yummy. Steph3n Dec 20, 11, 2:34 pm The farmers market is into winter crops here now, the local blackberries harvested a while back, but these Mexican blackberries are really good. Better than the RIM variety ;) I eat mexican produce all the time, it is very high quality. I even shop at the mexican market and specifically get mexican produce of some varieties, it is just better than the other stores when the farmers market doesnt have (or I didn't buy enough is the main thing!) youreadyfreddie Dec 21, 11, 3:11 am 0.99 in dc. just wonderful. forget the jerk jokes, really like to know when there is a fresh food dump. by the by, fresh copper river salmon is gone for another year. Where are you finding them in the DC area for that price, if you don't mind revealing your source? :) Thanks! mumha abu Dec 21, 11, 3:33 am €2.80 for a150g punnet of Mexican blackberries in my local supermarket. Mix them with Bramley cooking apples and they make the most delicious Pie.;) slawecki Dec 21, 11, 6:40 am Where are you finding them in the DC area for that price, if you don't mind revealing your source? :) Thanks! they were at harris teeter. this week are 2 for price of one??? who knows what that means. i saw them advertised at target $2.99 for a 12oz(that's a double pack)pack txrandom Dec 21, 11, 7:12 am I'd rather have raspberries, but the blackberries are much cheaper right now. sfo Dec 21, 11, 7:40 am I love blackberry's and blackberry jam is my favorite. But I can never find fresh sweet tasting blackberry's here in Canada, don't know where they come from but they always have a sour bite to them, and I hate to put sugar on them to sweeten them up, because then they are no longer in their natural state. Blackberry's in Canada, at least in Vancouver are expenisve. youreadyfreddie Dec 22, 11, 9:47 am they were at harris teeter. this week are 2 for price of one??? who knows what that means. i saw them advertised at target $2.99 for a 12oz(that's a double pack)pack Thanks! I saw them at Giant for two for one when I was running in to pick up something a few days ago, but didn't stop to check the price. Starwood Lurker Dec 27, 11, 12:46 pm Well, the price went from 0.67 cents for a 5-oz. package to $1.50 locally, but the berries themselves remain large, sweet, and tasty. Best regards, William R.

Best regards, William R. Sanders Social Media Specialist Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide spgchampion@starwoodhotels.com They had great blackberries on my last trip to the Sheraton Sand Key in the club lounge. Starwood Lurker Feb 7, 12, 3:07 pm They had great blackberries on my last trip to the Sheraton Sand Key in the club lounge. They were also terrific in the bowl of berries I had with breakfast at the Sheraton Stamford last Monday. They've gone up to $2 a pint here locally though, so I've made the switch to South American peaches. :( Best regards, William R.
