2 tablespoons of butter
1/2 tsp. vanilla

Directions: |
Directions:1) Create juice from berries. WASH YOUR BERRIES, SUBMERGE THEM IN WATER AND THEN STRAIN THEM.
2) Smash your berries with a potato smasher. Take a small hole strainer and put a few berries at a time and smash the juice out (leaving the seeds and pulp behind).
3) Once you have at least 4 cups of JUST JUICE (pulp and seeds are removed).
4) Put the juice in your cooking pot add the sugar, lemon juice, and salt.
5) Stir the mixture over medium heat, bring the mixture to a boil stirring constantly. Boil for 4 minutes. DON'T OVER COOK - YOU'LL GET JELLY INSTEAD OF SYRUP.
6) Remove from heat now the secret ingredients. Put in butter and vanilla and stir it up.
7) Pour into prepared hot jars leaving 1/2" head space on top. Clean the rims of your jars with a paper towel dunked with hot water or vinegar.
8) Put on your warmed clean lids that have been in a water pot simmering on low.
9) Now it's time for the water bath. I put the quart size jars in for 25 minutes. My water bath container has a lid that indicates to me the water is ready for timing once it has come to a boil.
IMPORTANT: DON'T THROW AWAY THE PULP AND SEEDS YOU STRAINED TO GET THE JUICE. LOOK AT THE RECIPE FOR MAKING JELLY AND USE THIS DISCARDED PULP FOR THAT. WON'T REGRET IT. |

Notes: The result is awesome syrup for waffles, pancakes, and ice cream. Does take some time to extract the juice from the berries. But, it's worth it. Pay close attention when doing the syrup it's very easy to overcook and end up with jelly.
Second, it's a bonus to use the pulp for making the jelly. So you have two different products from the same berry.
We pick our blackberries from Atkinsons Farms - they have a ton of berries.
