You produced an excellent tutorial on berry jelly making. I live in east Texas where we are blessed with tons on wild berries every spring. Most of them anyway. Your video was plain and simple which gets my highest marks *****. Thank you ! I too needed a good refresher course.......
Been picking a bunch of wild berries. Im fortunate enough to have a massive patch of wild blackberries down behind my dad's pond. Been a long time since I got to make jams and jelly so im super excited about it
he is right on with everything, Two things I would add is put cooked jam into warm jars, lids dipped in hot steamy water and with larger jars bath them for 10 min. yum yum
Navajo and Arapaho are the two most common thornless blackberry bushes. The Navajo has a large berry, like what you have. I don’t know about the Arapaho.
You deseed the same way that I do. I've always called the apparatus a chinoise. I think that's how to spell it! Cheesecloth is a really old school method and you're right, it takes sooo long. I'm making red raspberry jelly today, needed to know if I should heat berries before deseeding. This was an awesome video to refresh my memory on . Thank you!
Good morning Teresa, You can purchase this vintage jelly sieve, strainer on Ebay. It will cost between 19.95 and 24.99. Thank you for watching and I hope you give jelly making a try.
Hey There! Got a question: What if I want to add some other liquid ingredient for additional flavoring... ? Say 2 - 4 tablespoons per batch... Should I alter that recipe any, or just keep things as they are? I am thinking, maybe remove that much in the blackberry juice to keep the liquid at 4 cups exactly?? :) Thanks!
The recipes I have seen add 3 MORE cups of sugar than you do. I would think 7.5 cups would be excessively sweet! Did you reduce the amount or use recipe on sure gel?
David Hall We have bears twice a week, but they like the peaches instead of the blackberries. The Black Bears have become over populated. They are even in the subdivisions in our area. I have no clue how to get rid of them. Thank you for watching.
I'm not sure which is worse , the over population of people in this area of Pennsylvania , due to fracking , or the black bears. ( bears are better ) lol

Navajo and Arapaho are the most common thorn-less blackberries used.
That is what we have thank you for watching.
LOOKS GOOD
Looks so good. Great video. Can I use the recipe without sure-gel?
Holy wow, that looks like a lot of sugar. No wonder Marsha is so sweet! Love seeing you guys again. Be well.
Lolita's Garden You can always use the low sugar surejell. Marsha makes that kind for her Mother, who doesn't like things so sweet.
Excuse me, while you were putting the pot of blackberries on stove. Were you mashing them and then letting them boil?
Hi Harold, love your videos, you just make this process so easy. Do you have a mulberry recipe for jelly/jam?
Try the same as black berry ,let me know thanks
FANTASTIC
Thank you for watching it is great.
plz write down ur recipe..thank you
May I ask where you got your juicer from? I've never made jelly and I bet that gadget would work better than cheese cloth.

Hi Harold , Can I send the Bears down there to Virginia So I can grow black berries ? . Thanks for another good informative video !

David Hall Yes
We have lots of bears here in NC too. However they don't seem to bother my berries.
i guess my problem then is i am not boiling the mash long enough before i jar it...??
enjoyed the video, we don't us a lot of sugar, is there a way to add less sugar? I would like to use about half.
Sure-Jell has a less sugar recipe. Thank you
For jelly. For jam you use the whole berry.
Yes you do .thank you for watching.
I think I'm gonna add 2 tablespoons of BUTTER!!!! :) :)
You can try that Thanks for watching
The blackberry varieties are Navaho and Arapaho.
Yes Thanks.
