Blackberries pick out dorsum memories from my childhood. We had a pretty large wild blackberry land non far from our house. My blood brother too I ... dressed inward long pants too long-sleeved shirts for the sake of our skin, of course! ... used to accept our sand pails too larn alternative every bit many every bit nosotros could find. Then we'd bundle them upwardly inward empty Cool Whip containers or butter tubs too larn door-to-door offering them upwardly for sale to our neighbors. Might that count every bit my showtime job?? We sure didn't brand much, but that didn't look to bother us.
While I was developing this recipe, I brought 1 of my exam loaves to my parents' house. (I oft brand them taste-test my wares ... they don't look to mind. No arm twisting involved there.) When my Dad took a gustation of this blackberry breadstuff he said, "Oh, wow, that's good!" That's the reaction I honey to hear! I had forgotten how much my Dad loves blackberries. He too Mom were likely my brother's too my biggest customers.
So, I baked a loaf of blackberry-almond breadstuff for my Dad for quaternary of July weekend. Shhhh ... he doesn't know yet.
Start amongst precisely about beautiful fresh blackberries. Now, if you're fortunate plenty to get got access to a wild blackberry land to alternative your ain too they're the smaller-sized ones, precisely larn out them every bit they are. But if they're the big-as-your-thumb ones y'all purchase at the shop or at precisely about farmers' stands, I advise cutting them inward half, similar this:

| Cutting beautiful, juicy, big-as-your-thumb blackberries! |
