home made blackberry brandy
very easy to do at home, but it's going to be weak shit, you need to buy some alcohol
>>8899018

i don't think that's how you make brandy but i want to buy some everclear

>Fruit brandy is a distilled beverage produced from mash, juice, wine or residues of culinary fruits.
it's very popular in eastern europe where I'm from
everyone does this, it's very easy
UPDATE: since i started this thread i've actually eaten almost two of the boxes. this may be easier then i though

So do you ferment and distill the fruit/liquid yourself, or do you just add alcohol?
>>8899065
people who have a distillery do it at home and get stuff like

others, if they can only ferment, usually add alcohol bought from the store because as you probably know fermentation can only give you like, what, <10-12%? if you find that too weak you can just add alcohol
that's what everyone does here with surplus fruits, besides jam

Fuck the distilling, just make a blackberry mead with honey as the only adjunct. With a champagne yeast like Lavlin EC1118, you can get close to 20% ABV depending on the volume of honey (pic related an 18% ABV blueberry mead being transferred to secondary.)

CMON AND SLAM!

It's not how you make brandy, but it IS how you make liqueur. Steep berries in Everclear for about a month, strain, filter and add simple syrup. A basic guideline here is 1:1:1; so scale the recipe to however many berries you got. Like, three cups of berries steeps in three cups of Everclear and gets mixed with three cups simple syrup. But taste it while you add the simple syrup gradually, you might like it more or less sweet.
You can play with other add-ins, like vanilla or whole spices or zest.

A similar idea, infuse a pint with cheap Creme de Cassis. Muddle a pint of blackberries in a large container then add 1oz Angostura Bitters and one bottle of the Cassis. Let it set for about 15 minutes to let it infuse properly then strain into a container (the old bottle works fine but you will need a small container for the extra liquid volume). Good way to improve cheap shit.
Another idea is to just make simple syrup. Keep the berries after straining and use them for baking, pancakes, or random dessert to act as a sugar substitute.

freeze them so they don't go bad?
when you have a freezer full of fresh fruit buy a pressure cooker and start canning jams and jellies
>>8898993
I'd just freeze them half a cup a day. I put berries in a high speed blender with other stuff to obliterate the seeds so they don't get stuck in my teeth, and to maximize nutrient availability. Would probably be good in some frozen banana "nicecream"

As nobody else suggested this: sell them?
Sure there must be people who would gladly pay a few bucks for a load of blackberries. I know I would.
>>8898993
Wow, I have no idea. If only there were something to do with lots of berries that would, I don't know, PRESERVE them for the future?
Since there's not, and this is 4chan, just shove them all up your dick hole and muzzleload it down with a pipe cleaner until your nutsack is just a big blackberry.
>>8898993

Make pie.
Make smoothie...
Get tart shells and put blackberries in them. Delicious.
