Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This recipe was passed on to us from our cousin Judy Rutledge Leighty. This was Mama King's (dad's mother) recipe. I'm sure she made it from wild blackberries she picked down by Solida Creek. Mother, Jamie and I would go there often to pick berries. Mom would use them for baking and she also made lots of jams and jellies.
