SJChick Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Hi Can anyone help with this. Every year we have lovely big blackberries in the garden that ripen at the correct time for our local fruit and veg show. However, every year someone enters ones the same size but they have managed to make them very shiny - I don't know how to get them like that or is it just a different variety?? I would love to win the class just for one year. Competitive chick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Perhaps they use cooking oil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJChick Posted August 16, 2010 Author Share Posted August 16, 2010 Ah - thanks for that suggestion. I'll give it try before the show, see what happens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Try using a fine mister and lightly coating in oil...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJChick Posted August 17, 2010 Author Share Posted August 17, 2010 Right, have given it a go with the cooking oil tonight and there's hope. I'll work it from now until the show (start of Sept) and they perhaps they'll be good news!! Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
