1 quart Blackberries
5 cups Sugar
1 pack Powdered pectin (1 3/4oz)
1 cup Water
¼ teaspoon Ground cinnamon

Crush enough blackberries in a large bowl with a potato masher to measure 3 cups. Stir in the sugar, and let the berry mixture stand 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Combine the pectin and water in a saucepan; bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil 1 minute.

Add the pectin mixture, cinnamon and cloves to the blackberry mixture, stirring 2 to 3 minutes or until all the sugar dissolves.
