Blackberry Syrup
Place all ingredients in a large saucepan. Bring to a medium boil, stirring constantly until sugars are dissolved. Cook, uncovered, for at least 30 minutes. I mashed the berries with a potato masher after they soften.
Strain syrup through a cheesecloth. Store in refrigerator. Reheat before using.
Blackberry Butter
Mix jelly or jam well with softened butter. Pour onto a sheet of waxed paper, wrap and form into a log. Chill in refrigerator until firm.
Pancakes
Make a batch of pancakes using your favorite recipe. Keep hot until served.
Top with blackberry butter followed by warm blackberry syrup.
