Blackberries they are then! Thanks everyone for your feedback. Now I wonder if there are mulberry trees in Portugal. But what I’d really like is some blueberries…mmmm

We definitely have blackberries in Canada … raspberries, gooseberries, red currant berries and saskatoonberries too. Yep, it’s like a berry wonderland

[...] was inspired by Emma after reading her post earlier this week. So I got up from my desk, found a bucket, ventured into the 34 degree sunshine [...]

Blackberries grow on brambles, mulberries grow on trees. These are definitely blackberries, although some are still red they will go black and swell as they mature more. Lovely sounding recipes Emma.

Wow! That’s 3 sisters with 3 different mulberry memories. And from the feedback I’ve had, they seem to feature in other people’s childhood’s too. So it looks like mine here are blackberries, and mary was picking blackberries, and you and I were picking mulberries, because mulberry is a tree and blackberry is a bush… I wonder if the boys had berry games too?

Mary and I had a BIG discussion about mulberries vs blackberries.
Mulberry- Morus nigra= gargantuan tree always in the neighbours yard, never your own,
Blackberries -Rubus fruticosus=nasty prickly weed, beauuudiful fruit, noxious weeds list of most local councils in Oz.
I remember having street fights with mulberries stolen from the Starkey’s (the ‘bad’ boys in the street)!

Tango, my forearms look like I’m into self harming. I’m sure there are thorns still embedded in there somewhere. Do you have these berries in canada?

Inspired by your post I immediately went out and picked as many blackberries/brambleberries/mulberries as I could find — off to make some jam and nurse the millions of scrapes and scratches on my legs!

Bramble berry sounds good to me. What do you call those pesk, thorny plants that grow in bushes in abandoned or unkempt land, don’t you call them brambles? So, when they have fruits, they are bramble berries, I suppose. For us, amoras are from silvas only, and although we have amoreiras, I have never heard of their fruit in Portugal. For us, amoreiras are for silk worms, like in the Jardim das Amoreiras in Lisbon, next to the old silk factory founded by the Marquis of Pombal.
