I guess I'd have to say lots and not very many, in that order LOL! <br /><br />I found this recipe for blackberry juice, so I'd follow it to get about 2 cups of juice...just add a few more and bit more water for the 2 1/2 cups. A rough guess at how much it makes.... I'd make a double batch and bet it would make about 3 1/2 pints.<br /><br />2 quarts fresh blackberries<br />1/2 cup water<br />Preparation<br /><br />Bring blackberries and water to a boil in a 3-quart saucepan. Reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes or until blackberries are soft.<br />Mash blackberries with a potato masher or fork; pour through a large wire-mesh strainer into a bowl, using the back of a spoon to squeeze out the juice. Discard the pulp and seeds.<br />Southern Living <br />JULY 2005Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-32236679108814541232012-04-30T19:19:53.452-05:002012-04-30T19:19:53.452-05:00You read my mind.

You mentioned 2 1/2 cups berry juice, do you know about how many blackberries that took to get, roughly? And about how many pint jars do you get out of it?

Heat and mash the berries, then strain through several layers of cheesecloth)<br /><br />3 cups sugar<br />1/2 cup corn syrup<br />1 tablespoon lemon juice<br /><br />Combine all ingredients. Bring to a full rolling boil and boil exactly 1 minute. Remove from heat and pour into sterilized pint jars. Cover with lids and jar rings and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.<br /><br />Sometimes the natural pectin is so high the syrup actually jells....then you have really good berry jelly!Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-36467779615373863112012-04-30T09:23:42.970-05:002012-04-30T09:23:42.970-05:00visualize me drooling over all those berries!
