Made this with fresh blackberries tonight and it is AMAZING! I didn't have oranges, so I used lemon juice and increased the sweetener some after testing the boiled mixture and finding it tart. Used half sugar and half splenda. It turned out beyond awesome. It was all I could do not to eat it all!<br/><br/>Made two quarts so each one cup serving is 45 calories, or half cup serving is 23 calories. Can't beat that!!
