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.

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.

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.

There's a new crop in from Mexico. Incredibly juicy, sweet and the size of my thumb. Cheap too at 0.67 per 5oz./170g package.

They went down to $1 for a 5-oz. package last week, but are back up to $1.50 today. Still very good quality, however.
