Seedless blackcurrant jam
I made some blackcurrant and apple jelly recently and as a result had a bowl of pulp left after straining off the liquid. Most people throw out the pulp but not me! I added a little water to it to moisten it and then pressed it through a sieve. The resulting puree is then heated in a pan, sugar is added (1kg for every litre of puree) and once it has reached its setting point, it is put into hot sterilised jars.
I got 5 jars of seedless jam from what was in effect a waste product.

That looks lovely jam, I discovered some early blackberries recently and made some blackberry seedless jam. It does seem a pity to waste the seeds, I hadn't thought of sieving them. The blackberry season is not yet upon us, I noticed that a lot of berries are only just forming in places - so I might follow your advice and try to make some seedless jam.
