- 8 large scoops vanilla ice cream

From someone going by the name of Slagathor:
2 pounds pitted black cherries
2 pounds blueberries
1 pound blackberries

hard boil ingredients for 1 minute (220 degrees)
jar in sterilized jars and process in boiling water canner for 10 minutes depending on altitude
throw entire batch away after discovering broken thermometer
