I've never had it, but I have decided I'm going to make it this year.
I live in the blackberry capital of the world, I think. I have more growing in my backyard than I can ever put to use...we can't eat that many blackberries in cobblers, pies, and jam in a lifetime, let alone a year.
What's funny is last year, I drove miles and miles looking for good blackberry picking spots...one evening we got home and pulled into the driveway, and though I knew we had a few in our yard, I'd never looked close...
THOUSANDS. I had enough to make as many batches of anything as I could ever want...and my girl was still able to eat her fill off the brambles every day for weeks.
What a bozo! I made blackberry jelly, which didn't quite set up (it was my first ever attempt...we ate it anyway and it was wonderful).
Anyway, I think it's pretty easy stuff, and I think it would be cool to have a little bit of blackberry wine stashed away...for medicinal purposes, of course.
