Jonni (and girls),

Here is the recipe for Blackberry Syrup. it is SOOOO GOOD!

Have some on Sourdough Pancakes :)

Kerry's Blackberry Syrup

1. Lightly mash:

approximately 8 cups blackberries (enough to make 3 1/2 cups of juice)

2. Bring berries to a boil in a large saucepan.

3. Press the berries through a fine-hole colander to extract the juice.

4. In an 8-quart pot, combine juice with:

1/3 cup real lemon juice

5. Bring to a boil.

6. Add:

8 cups sugar

7. Stir constantly to dissolve sugar.

8. Bring to a full rolling boil for 10 seconds.

9. Remove from heat and skim any froth from the top.

10. Ladle or pour into heated, cleaned sterile Mason jars and cap. Turn jars upside down for 5 minutes. Then turn right side up again. Make sure jars "ping" to seal.

Makes 5 pints

**I'm sure that you could water bath process this. I followed the recipe and have had no problem with the inversion method. Whatever you feel better about :)

Thanks so much, Sharon!!! I'll be making this for sure this weekend. I've never tried the inversion method, but I bet it's just as simple.

It's going to be a great weekend for canning here, in Kentucky--high of 75 on Saturday, 72 on Sunday. Perfect weather to heat up the kitchen!!
