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've not been able to find any chutney recipes using soft fruit (apples yes, lots of them, plums a few, but soft fruit, nothing ). I had a look a while ago when I was picking bucket load of the stuff because the other half prefers chutney to jam. I just froze it all and will turn it into something when I have time.

[Small pumpkin]

Can't help with a Tried and tested jam recipe either. It's one fruit I've never grown

[vixylix]

Ha thats exactly what I have done SP The MIL picked them though so I know for a fact she'll ask me what I did with them!

[Small pumpkin]

1 large jar of Chinese style plum sauce
Another 3 jars of chilli plum sauce
1 massive disaster of plum flapjacks ( tastes ok, but looks nothing like a flapjack I've ever seen! )

I have blackberry chutney recipes but I was not fussed with them.

I would freeze them and use them for jam, crumbles and cakes when you have the time. And things like ice cream, mousses and cheesecakes.

Or blackberry brandy or whisky
