Garden blackberry pickings ........Mousse and Squash

 The never ending horrid thorny blackberries seem to be proliferating in the back garden. Decided to make the most of it and pluck and freeze - its kept the children busy for brief intervals.
This is blackberry mousse, made for Sunday pudding - whipped cream, whipped egg white and then mixed with boiled blackberries and sugar. Pronounced lovely so will hopefully make again.

 This is the leftover boiled blackberries and sugar strained into a jug.

This is the blackberry squash or cordial, as the recipes call it, tasted great if not as sweet as our usual squashes. H very happy with it and gave up his Sunday margarita to drink this!
