Every year, about this time, I clean out my freezer of last year's berries I have left over to make room for the current harvest.
This year, I tried jelly. Normally, I like the fruit pulp, but members of my family don't like blackberry seeds due to braces.
This batch I used:
3.5 gallons of blackberries
0.5 gallons of blueberries
I cooked down the fruit (20 minutes steady simmer after boil) and strained it using a cheese cloth. I then let everything sit overnight (in the fridge to deal with sedimentation.
In the morning, I refiltered the juice through unbleached coffee filters to remove the fine particles. This left me with 10 cups of juice.
I then brought everything to a boil and added
10 cups sugar
Juice from 3 lemons
3 shots of Knob Creek Bourbon
1 TBSP of cinnamon
I then let it simmer for 20 minutes, added in 3 pouches of liquid pectin, ladled into jars, and processed.
