Without a doubt, there is nothing like fresh, in-season summer fruit. Sweet and tart berries, ripe summer stone fruit, juicy watermelon, I love it all. And one of my favorite summer fruits are blackberries.
Blackberries are in season from late spring through the end of summer, with peak blackberry season in the United States running throughout the months of July and August.
