Ahhhh.....dewberries! I would pay any price for a gallon of berries!

I can remember picking dewberries as a kid and we always had enough that my mom would make a big cobbler (with baked stips of pie crust inside of the cobbler)and still have enough for jelly.

We would cook the berries, and she would squeeze the juice through a clean cup towel. She'd add the sugar and the certo, and we'd pour it all into the clean jars. What great memories.

No so great, having to bleach the formica counters and the rest of the kitchen when we were done!

I also remember that where the dewberries usually were, it was caliche from oil drilling activity. Hot and dry and we'd also find horny toads. Have not seen one of those in forever.

We had dewberry cobbler for desert last night, but the berries were a gift, Y'all shoulda been here.

MMMMMMMMMM......dewberries! The one time of year I brave the snake-y brush, and only because I am rewarded with cobbler a la mode. Yum!

Share your recipes for the berries and the itch? Bet they'd both work on the grandbaby.

Yum, Pilot! Berry picking is one of the more "fruitful" endeavors one can undertake during these increasingly sticky, sultry months. What a reward for your efforts!

I do have a suggestion for you, though. There is a product called "Ivy Block" that you apply like sunscreen BEFORE you go out into the wild. It really does work. I am highly allergic to poison oak and poison ivy and had to endure a few rounds of oral steroids for a particularly nasty case ALL OVER any of my exposed flesh a few summers ago. The product may be hard to find, but keep searching, and ask your pharmacist. They can get it for you. I have had no problem since using it, and I know I have come in contact with the nefarious weed a few times.

Like they say, an ounce of prevention is truly worth a pound of cure....or is that a slice of pie is worth a pound of "GAIN"?

And one thing I've never understood...Ï€rsquared?

No...pie are round...

Wow, yummy you make me hungry! Sounds so tasty I can already tell you are a good cook, just by the ingredients you use alone. Thanks for sharing, reminds me home cooking we used to enjoy more. Before certain health problems in the family changed our ways, we still sneak it in when we can though! Ha! Ha!
