Blackberry Balsamic BBQ Ribs

380.  Blackberries are ripening right now and we foraged for them today.  We picked roughly 5 quarts of these "black beauties".  They were somewhat sweet but there was that lovely tang to them as well. This is antioxidant heaven!  So I froze  several bags full but made sure we used them for a special dinner.
With ribs on the menu, I decided to make a Blackberry Balsamic BBQ sauce and use our fabulous blackberry balsamic from Lucero's Oil. (Which, I am sad to say, Luceros has gone out of business.)
To save recipe select and drag to desktop and print or select and print from smart device.
The flavor was outstanding!  And this was a stunning recipe both in flavor and presentation.
I also used blackberries on our salad and drizzled with blackberry balsamic and olive oil.  This was a lovely compliment along with a side of whipped cheesy sweet potatoes.
So if you see blackberries along the side of the road...don't just drive by, stop and pick some for your dinner tonight or to toss on the top of your yogurt for breakfast.
"So it is with blackberries.  If you pull too hard, you may get the berry but you will lose the sweetness of it.  On the other hand, if you leave it, it may be gone the next time you come by.
Each person must find this point of equilibrium for himself."
