Canned Berries

Ingredients

• 1 quart of fresh berries (blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, or strawberries)
• sugar (amount varies by fruit)

Directions

1. Select berries with unbroken skins to prevent darkening the syrup.

2. Fill jars compactly with the berries.

3. Prepare a syrup by dissolving sugar in water, using the appropriate amount for the type of berry.

4. Pour the syrup over the berries in the jars, leaving some headspace.

5. Seal the jars and process them in a boiling water bath for the recommended time.
