I used the recipe from Jack Keller/Yooper but I didnt really mash the berries really well. Theres about a 1/4 gallon of sediment in the bottom and a 1/2 gallon of unbroken druplets. Will the pectic enzyme eventually break them down? Should i sanitize my blender, filter them out and blend and re-add? It has only been fermenting for a week.

No, you probably got all the "good stuff" out of them! Don't blenderize them- you'll have a pulpy seedy mess.
