Ingredients

• Blackberries
• Preserving sugar

Method

1. 1

   Pick and look over the berries carefully.

2. 2

   Put them into a preserving pan and nearly cover them with cold water.

3. 3

   Bring them slowly to the boil, and bruise them well with a wooden spoon.

4. 4

   Then allow them to boil slowly from 45 minutes to 1 hour, bruising them down occasionally until all the juice has run out.

5. 5

   When ready, strain through a jelly cloth or fine hair sieve, and when all the juice has run through, measure it and return it to a clean preserving pan.

   Bring the juice to the boil, and boil it alone for 15 minutes, then add sugar, allowing 0.5 lb. to each pint of juice, and boil both together until the jelly will set.
