There's no better fruit to represent the arrival of summer than sweet, tangy blackberries. Now that they're in their prime, we're celebrating by eating as many as possible. Blackberry cobblers, blackberry crisps, blackberry jam, and drinks like blackberry shrub and blackberry fizzes are out in full force, and we definitely aren't complaining. Check out our favorite blackberry recipes and take advantage of blackberry season before the juicy fruits are gone. 

Succulent, juicy fresh tomatoes may just be the most highly anticipated arrivals at the summer farmers’ market—and for good reason. A summer tomato at peak ripeness requires little more than a sprinkle of flakey salt and a grind of black pepper to be absolutely delicious. Of course, they do also contribute bright acidy, a touch of savory, and a vibrant visual cue that summer is on to countless (slightly more involved) dishes. And with a stunning variety of tomato types available at this point in the year, no two tomato-centric recipes you make this summer need be quite the same. From layering them into hearty sandwiches and lively summer salads to roasting them to bring out their inherent sweetness in fresh pasta sauces, to candying them for a most incredible caprese inspired ice cream sundae, here are some of our favorite ways to highlight the glory of fresh summer tomatoes.
