I was talking to my mom about canning berries, which doesn't normally work well because they get diluted if canned in sugar syrup like most fruit. And she mentioned that she'd seen instructions for canning berries with (essentially) a syrup made of smooshed berries.
It works for blackberries! It results in three cups of berries going into a 2-cup jar. And in a cobbler, you can't tell the difference (I tested).
Woot!
I need more blackberry bushes. I will have blackberry cobbler ALL WINTER LONG!
