Blackberries instead of grapes to seed new starter?
I'm ready to try sourdough again, now that I learned that my bad luck was likely caused by trying to use up all the bleached flour I have by feeding it to the starters I made.
I've read about using organic grapes to innoculate a new starter - any thoughts on whether the blackberries from my yard work? If so, should I do anything different?
I just noticed that the bush has enough berries to bother picking for the first time in years. Not a whole lot, but I was able to pick a scant pound to bake a berry breakfast bar thingy. Chose too sweet a recipe, but... Yum! There will be a bunch more ripe in a day or two.
