I was getting a little worried. I love anything that has to do with cooking, I cook all the time, any chance I get to go to the grocery store; I'm there, learn new things about cooking; I'll try it, and my worst nightmare is having bugs on, near, or around my food. (I think I'm just a sanitary nut, it's been drilled into my head since I was too young too even reach the kitchen table. We would sit on phone books to roll dough with my parents for Sunday Sauce, and some regular meals). We enjoyed every minute of the time spent with them in the kitchen, and the learning was beyond great, but keeping things clean and making sure no bugs would ever be present was important. I think I've just adopted that frame of mind and intensified it through the years of cooking. So, thank you again, and I will make sure I inspect my berries very closely as usual. :) Alice,

Sometimes I have found them when picking berries in the wild. But this hasn't happened many times. I think it's safe to say.. if you don't seem them they are not there. DeAnna,
Maggot and worms are visible. Sometimes I have found them when picking berries in the wild. But this hasn’t happened many times. I think it’s safe to say.. if you don’t seem them they are not there.

(Thank you, by the way for making is so simple). I do however want to know where these people are getting blackberries that contain worms and maggots. That's making me a little weird about eating these things now. I usually wash and look at them very, very closely, but hearing this makes me incredibly unsure about eating them at all. Please tell me that you can see the little buggers, before plopping them into your mouth. Blaaahhh! I just made my first batch of blackberry jam. (Thank you, by the way for making is so simple).
