This is the recipe I use (it's British, so will need to translate measurements)

Blackberry Cordial

1500g blackberries (about 3.5 cups)
cold water, to cover them
1 cinnamon stick
1 tsp lemon juice
400g sugar (14 oz. sugar)

Pick over & wash the blackberries. Place in a pan and just cover them with water.
Boil them until they burst (mash them to assist juice extraction). Strain juice off fruit through metal sieve.

Put blackberry juice, sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon stick in pan. Bring to boil and simmer until sugar dissolves, and for about 20 minutes in total.

Cool. Sterilise bottles and decant.
