What to do with 'seedy' blackberries?
I have been given a load of frozen blackberries (gathered locally) I was looking forward to including them in with the fresh fruit I always have for breakfast, unfortunately they are very seedy, so will have to find another use for them. I was wondering about making wine or a liqueuer, which I have never done before.
Any advice please? |

Well you need to be removing the seeds somehow.
My top tips would be bramble jelly or blackberry whisky

What's wrong with just sieving them?

Juice them by heating gently until they fall apart when mashed lightly with a wooden spoon or potato masher. Then run the hot pulp through several layers of cheesecloth or a jelly bag. Don't over squeeze the bag because it will make the juice cloudy. Then use the juice to make jelly or cordial syrup.
Wine requires a fermentation vessel of some sort and patience. You can make jelly in an afternoon and eat it the same day. |

Thanks for all those suggestions - never heard of blackberry whiskey but just been browsing the net for recipes and discovered that it is very easy to make, also blackberry vodka. Shame it has to brew for 3 to 6 months.
