Blackberry Preserves

[cat lover]

fresh well washed blackberries
sugar

Mash blackberries with a potato masher. Measure the pulp and add one pint of sugar to each pint of pulp. Bring the mixture to a full bubble and cook 30 minutes. Be sure to skim the mixture while it is in the pot, so that the paraffin will seal property. The best skimmer is a wooden spoon. Ladle the preserves into sterilized jars. Melt paraffin carefully, removing all bubbles with a sterilized spoon. Pour it till it is about 3/4" thick on top of each jat of preserves. Let it stand and harden.

I LOVE blueberries. Would this work for blueberries as well?

I've only used blackberries for this particular recipe, but other than adjusting the sugar a litle I guess it would work;let me know if you try it. I have three blueberry bushes I planted this spring; and we have several wiold ones growing that I get blueberies off of. The wild ones the berries are so small compared to the others, but it works!
