I have an Alaskan starter over 100 years old and this is the recipe that finally does it justice! All other loaves have come out way too sour or just failed to satisfy in some way. This is a keeper for my starter now. Next time I'll try leaving out the commercial yeast and seeing how well it rises on it's own. :)

Every summer I picked from bushes and gobbled up tons of what I thought were blackberries at our summer home. I had a passions for my blackberries and since my parents never bought them at the store it wasn't until I was married and mentioned my love to my husband that I realized that that what I had actually been gorging on were black raspberries! When I realized my error I, embarrassed, mentioned it to my husband but bless him, he continues to bring home these big bland (in my opinion) berries that I care not for! In desperation, (for I hate wasting anything) I found this recipe and not only did it make the berries taste passable, but I went back for seconds! This recipe will be used quite frequently as I'm sure my helpful husband will continue to lovingly bring home more of my 'favorite' berries! LOL

This is a good recipe, but I wasn't crazy about the strong taste of the dry milk. I made it a 2nd time with about 1/2 less dry milk and it was much better. The balls were a bit stickier, but putting them in the fridge for awhile helped.
