Making Blackberry Preserves

I LOVE blackberry jelly, jam and preserves. Preserves are my favorite. I mash the berries and use every bit of them, seeds included. I think leaving the seeds in adds to the homemade quality of the finished product. I will post my recipe later, but for now I have a few pics of my finished product.

I made some extra for a good friend and decided to dress it up a bit instead of just handing over a plain jar. Anybody that knows me knows that I hate to give a boring present.
