Sugared Blackberries Recipe #360249
From the pages of Gourmet, Jan 2008 magazine, page 81. Credits to the late Edna Lewis for teaching a friend to mash fruit with sugar for a sort of jam that some say keeps for a year if refrigerated. (tested for a month and still good)
3 days | 15 min prep
3 cups
- 3 cups blackberries (fresh=3 cups or 3/4 pounds if frozen, thawed and drained)
- 3 cups sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Mash berries with sugar and salt in a bowl with a potato masher until berries are liquified and sugar dissolved. (Do NOT put berries in the blender! The seeds impart a bitter taste!).
- Let stand, covered and chilled, 3 days to allow the flavours to blend, stirring once a day.
