berries with spirit

On Sunday I was trying to get mass amounts of things done and ended by cooking "Spirited Blueberries" out of the Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving. The recipe calls for 1 cup of sugar dissolved in 2 cups of water then cooked with 12 cups of berries for 5 minutes. This mixture is then divided in seven 8 oz jars with a tablespoon of rum in each, but since we were a bit short on berries, we only came up with 6 jars worth. The leftover sauce, without rum, was served when we got done and got rave reviews. We haven't tried the sauce yet, but I imagine it will be really good. The berries were the sweetest, most tasty blueberries any of us have ever encountered. They defy adjectives. They were also free!
