They are delicious in cobblers, or even berry pies - I use a combo of raspberries, blackberries, gooseberries, and blueberries and mmmmmmmmmmmm, good with a big scoop of ice cream on fresh warm pie - nothing better and I really don't notice the seeds - they bake through enough to not be a burden in eating them - at least that is my thought - some people can't handle eating seeds, so in that case I'd say they'd have to be used for ice cream topping and jellys by straining the juice out of the berry after cooking and proceed with the jelly making or jar up the juice and cook with sugar to consistency of ice cream topping... sooooo good.

Blackberry syrup for pancakes and ice cream. YUM. You would cook them and then put them through a strainer. I remember picking wild blackberries as a kid and helping my mother put them through the strainer.

My blackberries are doing terrible this year, vines are loaded but before they turn they just dry up, and the ones that turn are hard, do you have a clue as to what could be wrong, we are watering even tho we have a heat wave here in MO

Yummy, but I find this results in a lot of waste of the pulp itself and I'd rather put up with the seeds. I used to make the seedless one for my DH though.

If your looking to just eat fresh berries on your cereal, I think you will just have to suffer the seeds. I don't know of anyway to get rid of the seeds for that. If you have a steam juicer you can steam them to get the juice and make blackberry jam.

you could grind them and put thru a strainer to get rid of seeds. OR
:twisted: lol if you have kids you could tell them all that the only way they can eat any is if they sit there and remove all the seeds off of everyone lol,use to work with my kids when they were little but they soon caught on :cry:
