I've had this recipe for years, but I haven't tried it yet. However, my daughter and I picked a bucket full of blackberries on Sunday, so we will be trying it out soon! Sounds Good! Ingredients:
3 quarts fresh blackberries or 3 quarts frozen blackberries |
4 cups water |
3 cups sugar |
1 tablespoon whole cloves |
1 tablespoon whole allspice |
2 (4 inch) cinnamon sticks, broken |
carbonated lemon-lime beverage (such as sprite) |
Directions:
1. Crush blackberries in a large kettle.
2. Add water and bring to a boil.
3. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 10 minutes.
4. Strain through jelly bag, reserving juice and discarding pulp.
5. Add water to juice if necessary to equal 2 quarts.
6. Pour into large kettle.
7. Slowly stir in sugar until dissolved.
8. Place spices in a cheesecloth bag; add to juice.
9. Simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
10. Bring to a boil; remove the spice bag and discard.
11. Pour hot into hot jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace.
12. Adjust caps.
13. Process for 15 minutes in a boiling water bath.
14. To serve, mix about one-third concentrate to two-thirds soda.
