Blackberries & cookbook

Went blackberry picking this weekend. Picked more than enough to make some fresh blackberry ice cream. I make a yummy mix of yogurt/ice cream/sorbet. Turns out fab. Now to write down the exact recipe! I am working on my cookbook this week. I think it is going to end up being more than one. Today I am writing down recipes...not easy when I don't use exact measurements. Soon I will be testing the recipes. Fun!
