You can turn the berries into a dessert, of course, like in this stunning blackberry and mascarpone crêpe cake or this summer peach and blackberry galette. But you can also pickle them, use them to make a conserva, and create a smoky barbecue sauce with them for your summer cookouts. Read on for all the blackberry recipes we can't get enough of. 01 of 14 Cast-Iron Blackberry Galette with Whipped Mascarpone Abby Hocking / Food & Wine This galette is great baked in a cast-iron skillet because it's easy to transport and serve. The secret to the sturdy crust is the buttery brown sugar oat crumble, which absorbs the jammy blackberries as they bake.

Sweet, gooey dates hold the crust together, and the entire dish can be prepared a day in advance and pulled out of the fridge right before you eat.

Chipotle chiles packed in adobo amplify the smokiness of the berries. Get the Recipe 08 of 14 Layered Blackberry-and-Turmeric Lemonade Charles Masters This spritzy, summery drink from Julia Momose is a show-stopper with its distinct pink and yellow layers. It's also incredibly versatile: Swap in raspberries or strawberries for the blackberries, double the recipe for a crowd, or serve the homemade soda and the turmeric-spiked lemonade on their own.

"The herb brings out a different floral component to the dessert that's unexpected and delicious."

Spoon leftover blackberry conserva on pancakes, waffles, or ice cream.

Top with whatever berries are in season at your market (such as blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries), or use your favorite sliced stone fruit.
