Wild Wineberries

I have wild wineberries in my yard.  They are BEAUTIFUL!


They are scratchy!


They are plentiful:


They are delicious!

I picked a bunch the other day and decided to make sorbet. 

I started with sugar syrup (1 c water + 1 c sugar):


and a quart of wineberries:


I pureed them:


Strained them:


and processed the entire mess through the sorbet maker.  I wasn't thrilled with the consistency.  It's kind of icy.  



Not willing to waste good berry ice, I decided to scrape some frozen berry into the bottom of a glass:


Fill the glass with sparkling water:


Stir, and enjoy a fresh wineberry soda. 

Ahhhhhh!

So what will I do with the rest of the berries in my yard?  

I will eat these:


With a tablespoon or two of this over top:


I love summer food!
