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.
