Description

Blackberry jam is a classic British preserve that can be enjoyed all year round. Making your own jam is incredibly satisfying, and it's easier than you might think. This recipe is perfect for beginners and experienced jam makers alike. The jam is sweet, tangy, and bursting with the flavour of fresh blackberries.

Prep Time

The preparation time for this recipe is approximately 15 minutes.

Cook Time

The cooking time for this recipe is approximately 30 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1kg blackberries
  • 1kg granulated sugar
  • 1 lemon, juiced

Equipment

  • Large saucepan
  • Wooden spoon
  • Jam jars

Method

  1. Begin by washing the blackberries and removing any stems or leaves. Place them in a large saucepan.
  2. Add the sugar and lemon juice to the pan and stir well.
  3. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar has dissolved.
  4. Once the sugar has dissolved, bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Stir occasionally to prevent the jam from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  5. Boil the jam for approximately 20-25 minutes or until it has reached the setting point. You can test the setting point by placing a small amount of jam on a cold plate. If it wrinkles when pushed with your finger, it has reached the setting point.
  6. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the jam to cool for 10 minutes.
  7. While the jam is still warm, transfer it to sterilised jam jars. Fill the jars to the top and seal with a lid.
  8. Store the jars in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year.

Notes

  • It's important to stir the jam constantly while it's cooking to prevent it from burning.
  • You can use frozen blackberries for this recipe, but they may take longer to cook.
  • If you prefer a smoother jam, you can strain the mixture through a sieve before transferring it to the jars.

Recipe Tips
