We are leaving town to go to a wrestling tournament in Oklahoma so I am not buying groceries and trying to use up things in my fridge. Well I had a carton of blackberries that were too sour for my kids to eat. I didn't want to waste them, so I made a blackberry syrup for muffins. You can actually do this with almost any fruit that's too sour and your kids won't eat them...raspberries, strawberries. I had a few white chocolate chips left in a bag, so we went ahead and used them for this recipe. They have disappeared very quickly in this house. Ive caught the kids doing drive by grabs, and scurrying off to eat them. Here is the recipe!
