Bev,
   
  You are simply indefatigable!

  I spent the morning picking blackberries with a friend; the bushes are
about 10% ripe, but we still managed to pick about 2 gallons worth.
We've decided to go back every other day for the next week or so. I
don't know what's worse, rabbit scratches or bramble scratches on your
arms. When I got home, I picked a slew of cherry tomatoes and
tomatillos, so I've got my work cut out for me for the next day or so,
just in the kitchen. I thought I would make a cobbler first, then start
making jam in a couple of days. I might just freeze the berries and
make jam in the Fall. My current cobbler recipe has a doughy texture to
the crust and I like more crispy cobbler, so if anyone has a crispy
cobbler crust recipe, I would love for you to share.
I found this recipe for Baked Cherry Tomatoes,
http://www.globalgourmet.com/food/egg/egg0896/cherryto.html
and I intend to make that tonight to go with the rest of the lamb in the
frig....I've never made this before, but it sounds delicious.
I also found this recipe for "Fireballs".....
http://www.recipezaar.com/11510
and I'll be trying that, too.
I know that cherry tomatoes aren't known as canning tomatoes due to
their sweetness, but if anyone has any other recipe for canning cherry
tomatoes that are lower acid, please let me know. I'm game to try it.
I prefer canned tomatoes over dried tomatoes, but I'll dry them if I
need to.

Bev

Here's a list of no-no's for rabbits from one of the rabbit groups:
http://www.adoptarabbit.com/articles/toxic.html

However, the short answer is that if it has prunus in the name, and that 
includes a whole bunch of fruits called stone fruits (peach, plum, almond, 
apricot, cherry), don't feed them to livestock or pets.  The list includes: 
prunus avium (sweet cherry), prunus serotina (black cherry), prunus 
armeniaca (apricot), prunus persica (peach) prunus salicina (Japanese plum), 
prunus pensylvanica (Pin cherry), prunus virginiana L (choke cherry), prunus 
laurocerasus (cherry laurel), prunus cerasus (sour cherry), and the list 
goes on.  They are all cyanide producers.

The long answer:

The toxic principle:  cyanogenic glycosides or cyanogens (amygdalin, 
prunasin, dhurrin, linamarin).

Hydrogen cyanide (HCN) is formed when the blycosides are hydrolyzed by 
enzymes in plants or by rumen microorganisms (which is why they are very 
toxic to rumanents).

The glycosides occur in vacuoles in plant tissue while the enzymes are found 
in the cytosol.

So, the plant gets "damaged" in any way, wilt, stomped on, bark ripped off 
by eager rabbit teeth, etc., and the enzymes and glycodies get together and 
hydrogen cyanide is formed.

When we found DB (Dumb Bunny) dead in the free roaming area, the vet did a 
gut content on her and she was loaded with cyanide.  There was a twig from 
an old stump from the prior owner, that was chewed to the ground.  We took 
it in and it was an old Sour Cherry tree sucker.
