Title: Fruit and Berry Juices, And Syrups
Categories: Canning Fruit Check
Yield: 1 Batch

The juices of such fruits as blackberries, cherries, currants, elderberries, raspberries and strawberries may be canned. The flavor of these juices is better if the fruits are cooked and the juice pressed out. Select sound, ripe fruit. Drush, add small amount of water, and heat slowly to simmering point. Simmer until fruit is soft. Strain through a double thickness of cheesecloth. The addition of sugar will give a better flavor. If desired, add 1 cup of sugar to 1 gallon of juice. Bring juice to simmering point and pour into clean jars, to within 1/2 inch of top of jar. Put on cap, screwing the band tight. Process 10 minutes in boiling water bath.

Fruit syrups..Same as fruit juices except that there must be at least as much sugar as fruit juice.
