their triplets (now 20-somethings) collected them from along the path, and baked. The family isn't here now, but MAYBE this weekend.

They are highly invasive and produce bramble patches that are impenetrable for animals because they are so thorny. Connecticut actually has a $100 fine for cultivating them.

I grow the native black raspberry (Rubus occidentalis) instead.
