All of the berries were incredibly plump and juicy. The blueberries didn't last long enough to be converted into anything -- we enjoyed those straight up with cream.
The blackberries, on the other hand, became cobbler (using Mom's recipe, of course). After simmering the berries and sugar, the mix seemed a little too soupy (probably because they were so damn full of juice to begin with), so I dipped out a lot of the juice before pouring it up.*
We topped it off with some homemade vanilla bean ice cream and formally welcomed the summer.

* Because we are environmentally sensitive and careful to avoid waste, we took one for the team and turned the sweetened juice into a pitcher of blackberry martinis. Oh, the hardships we must endure...
