Berry Syrup

Ingredients

  • 4 1/2- 5 c berry juice from fresh or frozen blueberries, cherries,
  • grapes, raspberries (black or red), and strawberries
  • 6 3/4 cups sugar

Instructions

Yield: About 9 half-pints.. Select 6-1/2 cups of fresh or frozen fruit of your choice. Wash, cap, and stem fresh fruit and crush in a saucepan. Heat to boiling and simmer until soft (5 to 10 minutes). Strain hot through a colander and drain until cool enough to handle. Strain the collected juice through a double layer of cheesecloth or jelly bag. Discard the dry pulp. The yield of the pressed juice should be about 4-1/2 to 5 cups. Combine the juice with 6-3/4 cups of sugar in a large saucepan, bring to boil, and simmer 1 minute. To make a syrup with whole fruit pieces, save 1 or 2 cups of the fresh or frozen fruit, combine these with the sugar, and simmer as in making regular syrup. Remove from heat, skim off foam, and fill into clean half-pint or pint jars, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Adjust lids and process according to the recommendations. Recommended process time for Berry Syrup in a boiling-water canner. Process Time at Altitudes of 0 - 1,000 ft- 10 min 1,001 - 6,000 ft- 15 min Above 6,000 ft- 20 min
