Blackberry Jam
Velvety Homemade Blackberry Jam with Tart-Sweet Flavor
Ingredients:
4 cups fresh blackberries
3 cups granulated sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, for a warm note)
Directions:
Rinse and gently mash blackberries in a large bowl, leaving some whole for texture.
Transfer berries to a heavy-bottomed saucepan and add lemon juice.
Stir in the sugar and bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
Allow to boil for 20–25 minutes, stirring frequently, until the jam thickens and reaches 220°F (105°C) on a candy thermometer.
Test for doneness by dropping a spoonful on a chilled plate—if it wrinkles when pushed, it’s ready.
Remove from heat and skim off any foam from the surface.
Carefully pour hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
Seal with lids. Store in the fridge for up to 1 month or process in a water bath for shelf-stable jars.
Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 25 minutes | Total Time: 35 minutes
