Well my Food Flinging Peeps the time has come to start making some delicious treats with our Blackberries. So far this year our single Marion Blackberry bush has produced over 3 - 1 Gallon ZIP- Loc Bags and there is a lot more to come. I just pick ‘em and lay them on a cookie sheet and freeze them. That keeps them from getting smashed and squished.
A few days ago I showed you all the Ball Ice Cream Maker Deleo here and we made some Strawberry Ice Cream. I feel that sometimes me writing about it doesn’t do it justice. So between outage calls the kids and I got busy making a batch of Homemade Blackberry Ice Cream made. For some reason they like getting involved when there is a tasty treat at the end. Hmmm weird.
Check out the video and see the creative way my daughter found to keep the Ice Cream Ball movin’. I love when they think outside the box, but watch your toes that Ice Cream Maker Ball is hard and pretty heavy when it is loaded.
So come along with the Splatts Clan as we make a our first batch of Blackberry Ice Cream using Marion Blackberries from the Splatts Garden
Steem On

Good Luck@jlsplatts
Ingenious way your daughter came up with to move the ball around. Thinking out of the box already, good for her.
Have a wonderful weekend my friend.#farm-mom told me about the ice-cream ball after reading your previous post. She has already looked into it and we should have one before the kids and grandchildren visit for a week starting on the 9th of this month. Boy does that one bush produce a ton of berries. What a great activity to have the kids get involved with. When you took that first big scoop, I thought you were going for the whole spoon, and I was expecting some brain freeze. You're a funny dude and I would have totally enjoyed the facial expressions that would have accompanied @jlsplatts freezing his brain.
It’s funny that we have had this ice cream maker ball thing for years and just never used it. It does make ice cream really fast, which is great buy it is a little messy. NAH, who cares a little mess never hurt anyone.
I thought about it, but I caught one huge blackberry as I was taking that bite. Lol. I cut so many berries off that bush when I thinned it out I was almost worried. There are literally thousands more on it. They do have a bit of tartness to them, which I was trying to solve with thinning them out. Maybe that is just the way they are??
I’m going to do some research and see how to best get starts from my Blackberry bush. Then send them off to people who would want them. That is the plan anyway, we will just have to see how things go.
Cheers

Ahhh, man!!! that looks GOOD! :)
For around 20 minutes of playing around, it didn’t turn out too bad. It could be just a little sweeter but the blackberry flavor was delish!!

@jlplatts, the Oscar goes to Splatts, for best movie of the year! It really was fun to watch, I am ordering mine right after this comment. Great job, great family time.
You won’t be disappointed!! Well I hope not anyway... just make sure you have a good strong scraper spoon to clean off the walls of the container.
Cheers to family and homemade goodies.

Glad to see you made it Splatts. We just arrived at our new location—on the east coast now but I’m looking forward to settling down in Liverpool for a minute. Tons of places to ride a bicycle. Why am I telling you this??
..cuz I’m on borrowed WiFi right now and would appreciate a reminder to get back over here and watch the video. 👍🏿
Happy #ffm
Dude, first I blew the door open on that transformer, then made ice cream and did whatever else I did that day, then got called to another outage that evening!! Man I gotta get my FFF post together prior to Friday from now on!!
So how are you guys liking things your current location on the planet?? Better than the last? Or just better than a poke in the eye??

Oh dude, better than Costa Rica? Night and day. I trust asking the people in Rosarito for help when I’m so intoxicated I can’t stand rather than ask ONE Costa Rican for help outside a church, nobody is intoxicated, and the Costa Rican is a parishioner. (yeah, it’s that’s bad)
But a good poke in the eye can’t be passed up.
