Two Batches


Making blackberry jelly



Jars already to fill



Chuck's smashing the berries



4 1/2 cups of juice



cooking juice, sugar and sure jell



hot water bath for five minutes



15 finished jars!!!
I've had bags and bags of blackberries that we have picked in the past couple of summers.  I know!!!  so long!!!! ...but they seemed to be ok when I thawed them out to make jelly.  Chuck did the hard work of smashing the berries to get all the juice that I needed.  Four and a half cups per batch.  We ended up with enough to make two batches.  Plus, it helped clean out the freezer and it stocked up the pantry with fifteen new jars of wonderful jelly!
