Blackberry Apple Conserve
This conserve will disappear from your refrigerator sooner than you think. It’s that good. In late summers, I usually buy small batches of berries and freeze’em for off-season use. But, when I look at these delicious tart fruits, their dark bright colors allure me to make some jams. Alas, sugar is so omnipresent in food these days – makes me thrifty with its use. So, I control myself; can small batches and never more than one or two per season.

Today’s Blackberry Apple Conserve is the second one this season. First one? Well, I did not get time to click pictures while making Mango Blackpepper Jam. I promise, will get you recipe.

I have also included canning instruction with recipe today. I hope you enjoy this conserve as much as I do. Dark, soft, sweet and sour bite of blackberry and apple tastes amazing on a crisp butter toast - rest serves as base for tarts.

Recently, we had cheese cake and I spooned some conserve on it, rich cake with tartness of blackberries, pure heaven!

Savita's Notes:
If not canned, keep this conserve refrigerated for up-to two months or can per instructions below. Canned Conserve stays good for up-to 6 months. This recipe is good for 4 - ½ cup - jars and it easily doubles if you wanna make more. Apple is natural source of pectin, Apple pectin reduces the settings time of conserve.
