Article: Sweetening your blackberries before freezing them helps keep the berries' natural color and texture intact through the freezing process. It also makes the berries last longer in the freezer. Freezing sweetened berries requires the same washing process as for unsweetened berries: gently rinse and drain the berries, then allow to air dry or gently pat with a soft towel to remove any moisture. As above, you'll also want to remove any unripe or overripe berries before proceeding, as well as any leaf matter or debris. Next, add your berries to a large mixing bowl and add about 1/2 to 3/4 cups sugar for every quart of berries (as a reminder, one quart is equal to four cups). Mix the berries and sugar thoroughly, but very gently your goal is to coat the berries with sugar, not to mash them into a jam or paste. The sugar should combine with the natural moisture of the berries (along with the juice of any berries that do break) to form a syrupy mixture that should cover the berries. Next, pour the berries into seal-able, airtight plastic containers (like, for instance, Tupperware. Try to fill the containers nearly to their tops leaving about 12 inch (1.3cm) of head space or less is ideal. The less air remaining in the container, the better, but resist the urge to force the berries into a container that's too small for them, as this can crush the berries. You can also use plastic freezer bags as described above, though, with sweetened berries, this can become somewhat messy. There's no need to freeze sweetened blackberries separately, since the sugar helps protect their appearance and texture from the effects of freezing. However, if you especially want separately-frozen berries, you can still use the baking sheet method described above without harming the berries. Sweetened blackberries should last for a minimum of nine months, though some sources say that they can last up to a full year. The sweetened berries can be used like unsweetened berries in a wide variety of baking recipes or enjoyed on their own. However, if using the berries in baking recipes, it's important to remember to take the sugar you added to the berries into account and adjust your recipe accordingly. Because of this point, you may find that it's a wise idea to label your freezing container with a volume of berries in the container and the amount of sugar added along with the date of freezing.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Rinse and dry the berries as normal. Mix with sugar. Pack the berries into bags or airtight containers. Freeze for up to nine months.

Problem: Article: This is especially important if you're creating a design that you want to look professional. Make sure you measure out where your holes should be in the leather, and then mark the spot with a marker or pen. Don't make the mark too big you want it small enough to disappear when you punch a hole through the leather at that spot. You can do this by hand with an awl or with a leather punch. The hole just needs to be big enough for you to get the post of the rivet through. The underside of the leather is usually less finished and will often be a lighter color. Make sure you push your rivet up through the leather from this side, or it will end up upside down. Your rivet post should only extend about 1/8 inch (0.3 cm) above the surface of the leather. You can buy pretty small anvils from most leather working supply stores. You only need an anvil big enough to accommodate the size of the leather you're working on. Place it on the anvil with the bottom of the leather facing down and the post sticking up. Some rivet caps will make a clicking or snapping noise when you place it over the top of the post. The rivet cap is the part that looks "finished" it's usually brass or copper and has a convex top. The rivet setter looks like a small metal cylinder, and it has a concave end that allows that cap to fit snugly against it. Place the setter over the cap so that the cap is flush against the setter. You don't want to hit the setter too hard, because that can dent the rivet. Instead, give the setter a few short taps with a soft mallet or hammer. If the rivet has been set, you should be able to pick up the piece of leather without the rivet post or cap falling off. If they do, reset them and give the setter a little bit of a harder bang.
Summary: Mark where you want your hole. Punch a hole in your leather. Push the rivet post up through the underside of the leather. Place your leather piece on an anvil. Put the rivet cap on top of the post. Place your rivet setter over the cap. Tap the setter with a soft mallet or small hammer. Check that the rivet is set.

Holding the handle of the rake can cause blisters on your hands. Your hands may also get dirty from picking up leaves from your pile and placing them into bags. To protect your hands, make sure that you wear a pair of heavy duty canvas or leather work gloves. You can find these gloves at any home improvement store. Rakes can hurt if you drag them across your foot. There may also be insects and other small creatures hiding in your yard. To protect yourself from injury and bites, make sure that you are wearing a pair of closed toed shoes. Work boots are a good choice for doing yard work. If you will be mulching your leaves or if you have allergies, then you may want to wear a mask over your face. This will help to protect you from breathing in the dust and allergens released as you rake and mulch your leaves. You can find a mask at a home improvement store. Wearing long sleeves and pants is also a good idea when you are doing yard work. Even if the weather is not cold yet, there may be insects, snakes, and other small creatures lurking in your yard. Wearing long pants and long sleeves will help to protect you from bites. A pair of jeans and a long sleeve shirt is a good choice for raking leaves. You can wear a jacket and a hat too if the weather is cold.
