Sometime during July/August we have few of the little wild mountain blackberries on our property, not always enough for a pie, so here I added them to a fresh peach galette; the fragrant, earthy little berries and sweet peaches complement one another beautifully. I love a rustic free form and use a sweetened cornmeal based crust that it is easy to put together. <br /> <br />Note: The little Wild Blackberries, without a doubt are the crème de la crème of wild berries; aka Wild Mountain Blackberries or Rubus ursinus, the scientific name. <br /> <br />These are not the large blackberries that grow abundantly on tall bushes in backyards and hillsides. They are little wild berries growing closer to the ground, with tiny seeds unnoticeable compared to the other blackberries; the only blackberry native to the Pacific Northwest. However, I’ve noticed they can be purchased at Amazon. I would probably substitute blueberry if the little Wild Mountain Berries are not available. <br /> <br />We are waiting for the little wild berries on our property to ripen, and hope we get to them before the wild critters, including bear, get to them! <br />
