Blackberry Liqueur Syrup Recipe
As promised here is the Blackberry Liqueur Syrup recipe. This recipe is from the Bernardin Complete Book of Home Preserving.
Ingredients
4 cups of Freshly Picked Garside's Fruit Farm Blackberries
1/2 cup of Chambord or other raspberry liqueur (we used Okanagan Spirits)
3/4 cup of granulated sugar
1 tbsp of grated lemon zest
1 tbsp of lemon juice
1 pouch of (3 oz/85 mL) liquid pectin
1. Prepare canner, jars and lids.
2. In a large stainless steel saucepan, combine the blackberries, Chambord (or other liqueur) and sugar. Cover and let stand for 2 hours, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir in the liquid pectin and return to a full rolling boil. Boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, and skim off any foam if necessary.
3. Ladle the hot syrup into your hot sanitized jars, leaving 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) headspace. Wipe the rim, center the lid on the jar and screw band top down until finger tip tight.
4. Place the jars in a canner, ensuring they are completely covered with water. Bring to a boil and process for 10 minutes. Remove the lid, wait 5 minutes, then remove the jars cool and store.
This syrup is delicious and tasty over your pancakes and waffles, but also great topping to pastries, ice cream or as an added flavour to your fizzy water! I can guarantee you will love it!

Upcoming Fruits!
Wow! What a terrific Summer we have been having, weather wise here in the Vancouver area.
All this sun has been working its magic at Garside's Fruit Farm, the apples have been growing and starting to ripen, and the bees have been buzzing on all the blackberry bushes.
We are sad to say we are already sold out of our sour cherries for the 2013 season. Those delicious cherries go fast!
At the end of this week we will have our Free Range Roasting Chickens available again. We have been sold out for about a month and are very excited to have stock again. These chickens will be available for $4.00/lb. These chickens have been fed a non-medicated, no hormone feed and were allowed run outside. They have been professionally processed and frozen. They are delicious, and juicy. The average size is approximately seven to eight pounds per chicken (some larger, some smaller too).
Our next crop that will be ready will be our Crab Apples - these little apples are delicious and perfect for making jams jellies and wine. They are available for $1.00/lb.
Following that will be our Gravenstein Apples - available for $1.25/lb, Bartlett Pears - available for $0.75/lb and Bramley Apples - available for $1.50/lb.
