Default Yet another newbie question. About sweetness and S/G.

I bought a hydrometer and test tube today and measured my blackberry (very
dry) second racking. The specific gravity is 990 (the very top of the
meter). I'm glad I had the tube because I was close to fishing for the
hydrometer.
Anyway, I would like to sweeten up the wine by adding sugar or honey and
sugar. My question is...
Should I sweeten a small amount, 1 gal, to taste after stabilizing,
or...should I sweeten to a specific gravity?

I honestly don't know how much the sweetness will change with ageing.
