Frozen blackberries are an economical and a delicious way to enjoy that fresh summer taste even after berry season fades. Oregon blackberries are perfectly preserved and picked at the peak ripeness, they transform savory and sweet dishes alike, and add full, sweet berry flavor to every smoothie, salad, and scone. Available at most grocery stores, just look for "Grown in the USA"!
