Have you considered putting the berries through a sieve with fine mesh screen or lining larger holed sieve with cheese cloth to catch the seeds. Now the berries are seedless for jam/jelly. To me the seeds ae just pat of the enjoyment of the berries. :D

I once lived in Washington state and made jam with them. The seeds will stay, if you make jellies or jams, you have to drain through broadcloth and can be messy. That's the only was I could find out how to get the seeds out. Maybe this will help.

I made this blackberry mint tea the other day, minus the bourbon, my four year granddaughter loved it.

I would love to have some of my Aunt's Blackberry Dumplings!!! She cooked the blackberrys and added drop dumplings.
I have tried and tried to make them but they never turn out like hers!!
Also homemade blackberry wine is the only kind of wine I have ever liked.
The seeds never seem to bother me and I have dentures.

I have something called a Victorio. It has a screen that strains the seeds separate from the fruit. It is the tool that I used to make tomato sauce, applesauce, etc. I have several screens for different types of produce.
