Here is a recipe for blackberry syrup.I have to say i have not yet tried it but i am due to as my blackberry's are now waiting in the freezer and there is only so many pies you can make.
Blackberry Syrup
(fruits for syrup making should be over ripe,free from mould and well washed.Remove any leaves or large stems)
Stew the berries very gently in a double saucepan for an hour with water,using half a pint of water for every 6lb of fruit.Squeeze out the juice,add 1lb of sugar for each pint of juice and simmer for ten mins.Allow to cool the bottle.
If preferred a wine glass of brandy or a fruit liqueur may be added befor bottling.Alternatively add 1/2oz of whole cloves in a muslin bag during the second simmering and remove before bottling.
Please let us know if anyone tries this recipe and what you think of it,unless you have another recipe to share with us.My next project after this is lime and lemon cordial.
regards
Heather
