    Default Black Berry Syrup

    Ok not sure where to start this post so I will posted it here.
    I know it's early to be thinking about other syrups but I try to plan ahead and get everything in stock and ready to go.
    Any of you who make a fruit syrup, what density are you making it at. Last year I made some Blackberry. Cooked the berries, pressed through a jelly bag then added 1 cup white sugar to each cup of juice. Tried to filter and bottle. Did not want to go through my filter papers very well, but I have a fix for that.

    Anyone doing this or something different.

    Maybe you can skip the second filtering? What was the consistency after adding the sugar? If it was too runny, cook it down for a while and use a thermometer until it's 219°F?

    I remember when I was young and in boy scouts my scout master made strawberry syrup. But not by doing such a major process. I believe what he did was take lid off strawberry jam and put jar in boiling water where it soon became liquid.
    110 taps W.F Mason 2x3 and two turkey friers for finishing

    2011 expanding to a Mason 2x4 with a blower increasing taps to about 200
    2011 Hurricane Irene rips thru my small sugar bush cost me to lose 20% of taps
    2014 I have reworked my lines for 2014
    32 taps on 5/16 line with check valves
    57 taps on 3/16 line with check valves
    55 buckets with total tapped trees of 144
