Step 1

Bring all ingredients to a boil in a large pot or dutch oven. Reduce heat to simmer. Cover and simmer 20 minutes, stirring a few times to make sure the blackberries cook down.

Step 2

Remove from heat. Remove the cinnamon sticks and let sit for 5-10 minutes, or until cool enough to handle.

Step 3

Strain through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth. Repeat if necessary.

Step 4
