Instructions to cook blackberries: Add berries to enamelled saucepan with small amount of water at base.
However, if you're trying to cook up some blackberry jelly, then keep reading! This recipe suggests starting by placing the blackberries in a saucepan with a small amount of water at the bottom. Then, you'll stew them until they give up their juice. Alternatively, you can place them in a jar and oven-cook them. Once the blackberries have cooked, you'll want to strain them through a hair sieve or squeeze them dry in a tamis cloth.
Next up is sweetening the juice to turn it into jelly. There are two methods to choose from, both of which are vegetarian-friendly. The first option is boiling the juice with a large amount of white sugar until the jelly sets on its own. You'll need one pound of sugar for every pint of juice you have. The result will be similar to red currant jelly, more like a preserve than the kind of jelly you'd eat alone at dinner.
Whether you're a beginner cook or a seasoned pro, this recipe is sure to result in a delicious blackberry jelly. Happy cooking!
