Blackberries are coming into season. These are volunteers so they are a touch on the astringent side, not great for raw eating. Sugar helps cut that so last year I made a lot of blackberry jam. I probably have enough to get through this year so I'm looking for alternative ideas for long term storage. If not I'll make more jam.

This year won't be a big harvest as we cut down so much last year. This means there won't be enough to make wine.

burn them to the ground, then let pigs dig up the roots, have goats eat any new creepers that come back until you can get pigs to dig the roots up again.

Also run them over with a 4x4 to help keep them down until you are ready to set them to blaze.

or did you mean the berries not the vines?

Most of the plants are actually on my neighbor's land and crap over our property line. We have unlimited access. So I can cut them down but pigs, goats and fire would mess up their corn and soy beans. That might get our rights revoked.

Lol no worries mostly just having some fun.

I grew up on 5 acres and they are such an invasive species. There was an awesome story on the Internet years ago about the Pacific North West Himalayan blackberry wars. Whoever wrote that story did it like a war journal. It was excellent for someone who had to fetch toys that ended up in the black berry bushes

They are invasive. We destroy large sections all the time just to rotate the canes.
