Blackberries were made for cobblers!
Forget buns of steel, I'd rather have buns of cinnamon!
Don't out smart your common sense!!

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 like to make cobbler filling and jellies or jams out of any fruit I can lay my hands on. They are great for in the winter when you start missin summer.

Wow ladies! Great ideas! And thank you Sharon for sharing the recipe. Now I've got some direction, lol! Didn't want to just make jam. Now I need to start picking! Thanks again everyone, and have a wonderful day! :)

| Blackberries are great for treating stomach upset and diarrhea. We keep some in the freezer to boil down and drink the juice when a stomach bug hits. |

I made Blackberry syrup/sauce/ice cream topping, pie filling, canned whole berries in water, brandy, cordial, and wine.
