How Do You Remove Seeds From Blackberries?
Blackberries, which can be canned, frozen or made into wine or jam, aren’t recommended for drying as they have a high number of seeds and a slow drying time. The berries are about 1 to 2 inches long, made up of many segments, with a seed tucked into each tiny segment. When preparing blackberries to make jelly or juice, removing the seeds is typically preferred. Wash the ripe blackberries under cold running water. Crush 2 to 3 qts. of blackberries in a saucepan and add 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 10 minutes. Remove seeds by straining mixture through a colander. Put the berries into a colander and press the fruit through the holes, into a bowl. Seeds will remain in the colander. Strain again, through damp cheese cloth for seedless juice. The seedless berry juice can be used to make jelly or syrup.
