These pickled blackberries are sweet, tart and fragrant, providing the perfect balance to cream cheese on an open sandwich or try serving with a Ploughman's. If you're after an easy pickle recipe that's a bit different, give it a go – we'd say it's a spoonful of summer all year round!

Method
- Put the vinegar, salt, caster sugar, bay leaves and peppercorns in a saucepan with 150ml water over a medium-high heat. Stir to dissolve the sugar and salt, bring to a boil, then remove from the heat and leave to cool completely.
- Put the blackberries in a clean, sterilised 700ml jar* and pour over the pickling liquid and spices, pushing down the berries so they’re submerged.
- Set aside for 2 days or up to 6 months in a cool, dry place to pickle, before adding to summer salads and sandwiches. Once opened, refrigerate for up to 3 months.
