    Love the flavour of these, but oh, they are so hard to pick. It’s not just the thorns, they tend to squige in your fingers when picking too!

      They do; I’m fond of squishing them off into a bowl.  They’re just as good as mush!  Most of what I forage goes into the freezer for a while anyway.

    Good point – I guess it’s just being organised enough to have bowls on hand. We don’t usually go out on purpose to forage, but do so if we’re out walking. Usually have a few plastic bags on us just in case!

      I did better!  Snipped off branches (small bits!) and stuck them into a basket.  Put to the freezer at home and picked the berries off when frozen.  Worked great!
