Hi all... I've just been given a large bag of delicious looking blackberries. I don't have time to do much with them right now and I'm struggling for inspiration in my usual places. Does anyone have any recommendations for a preserve (chutney, jam, jelly, cordial?) I can make fairly easily and enjoy when I have more time!!

Thanks

p.s. If it helps chutney wise I have a boat load of toms too, but not sure they'd go together?!

I'd bung them in a bottle with sugar and rum, vodka, gin or whisky. Damson whisky is immense, blackberry vodka would be pretty good I think! I use these like cassis to add to prosecco (turns ordinary fizz into rocket fuel!)

I used them in gin in the end with a dash of cinnamon... havent tried it yet!
