I gathered blackberries today along a stream, first time I have done this
"gathering"  as I grew up in an area with no berries that we were aware of,
would like any tips. I got so scraped up. Do you guys wear gloves? Then
would a HG have dried them to preserve them? Can you dry blackberries on
your dehydrator?? It was so much fun to gather, is there a book out there
that would help us to be paleo gatherers? Right now they are sitting in my
freezer but I would like to learn if they can be successfully dried. Thank you,

Mary

ps we were amazed how many blackberries there were and that no one else had
thought to gather them, probably most people would rather just eat some Trix
or Ho hos?? than go to all that work, which was actually fun!
