Any Home Bakers Here?

Those are gorgeous! I’ve never seen that many in one place before!

They look kind of like blueberries, but taste nothing like them. The syrup I was making turned into jelly, and it tastes good! And I didn't get sick either. LOL

There's an invasive Himalayan blackberry growing in my camellia bush that I need to clear out. I like eating those invasive blackberries but I don't want them taking over my property.

I view "invasive" as prolific. If I had them,, and liked them,, I would not try to get rid of them.
You can always resort to the chainsaw if it gets out of hand.

I made an attempt at brandied cherries today, but I broke one of my usual rules and tweaked the recipe before trying the unaltered version first. Six weeks before I can see if it worked…

I need some more explanation/understanding about your post.
Are you referring to canning your fruit in Brandy???

Sure! Original recipe is here. I saw it and thought, ‘that looks fun, I could do that’ and I recently got a cherry pitter so I figured I’d try it out.

But I made some tweaks to the recipe. I didn’t have any brandy but I had some vodka I use for making extract so I substituted that, and tweaked a few other things. The ending ingredient list looks like this:

4 cups pitted black cherries
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
1 cup water
1 cup vodka
1 t vanilla
1 t cinnamin

I added the cinnamin in with the sugar and vanilla. I ended up with two jars of cherries and a third of leftover syrup, hopefully they’ll work out or at least be really obvious if they go bad; it said it’s not supposed to be refrigerated and I’m not used to doing that for anything but dried herbs.
