Although I did have enough berries to make the entire batch, I cut the recipe in half, 'cause I had other plans for the rest of the berries! Then I kept 2 jars for our own enjoyment & gifted one to a friend! I found this recipe very easy to prepare & the combined flavors of blackberries & the McIntosh apples that I used! Thanks for sharing a great recipe! [Made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in the current Pick A Chef event]

I live in Santa Cruz, California and I really love to bake. Over the last few years, I've focused my cooking and baking on using organic ingredients, less sugar, and whole wheat grains. What a fun transformation!
I am also having a lot of fun turning my recipes into true "vegan" options, which often means healthier baking and cooking! I am not vegan, but I love offering the option.
Give my recipes a try and let me know what you think. Thanks!
