Blackberry Syrup     

Ingredients:
12 cups blackberries, raspberries or similar fruit
6 cups sugar

Preparation:
Pour the blackberries into a saucepan and turn the heat to medium. Pour the sugar all over the berries, but do not stir. Let the heat begin to break the blackberries before stirring gently, about 5 minutes. Stir every five minutes, just to keep anything from burning on the bottom of the pan. Let the blackberries melt with the sugar slowly. Simmer until the berries are broken down and release their juice, remove from heat. Run through food mill. Pour off the syrup into jars and either keep in the fridge or seal in a hot water bath for 10 minutes.
