James's Blackberry Wings

25 to 30 chicken wing drumettes
4 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pint fresh blackberries
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 to 1 teaspoon hot Hungarian paprika (to taste)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Place wings in single layer in baking pan and brush with melted butter. Mash garlic and salt together into paste. Using a wooden spoon, push the blackberries through a non-metallic sieve. Discard seeds. Mix garlic paste and blackberry juice with remaining ingredients and let set to blend flavors. Bake drumettes at 375°F for 1/2 hour.

Brush on blackberry sauce and continue to bake another 1/2 hour, until wings are tender. Baste and turn frequently. Add water if the juice cooks away before wings are done.
