This Blackberry & Apple Jam is simple to make, utterly delicious and made with no pectin added into it. Once you tasted this amazing jam, you will be foraging for blackberries every year to make it! I was given loads of homegrown apples. I can go for my favourite Apple Crumbles with Blackberries but I chosen to do something different! Been looking online & found a few recipes which I adapt them to my way.
A simple and delicious Blackberry and Apple Jam where the fruits are all cooked in one pot.
Ingredients:
- 600g blackberries, washed and drained
- 600g cooking apple, peeled, cored and cut into berry sized chunks.
- 1kg granulated sugar
- 300ml water
- 10g butter
Method:
Put the water and apple chunks in a preserving pan and simmer gently until soft, it will takes about 5-7 minutes.
Add the blackberries, bring to boil and simmer until soft for another 15-20 minutes.
Add the sugar off the heat, stirring to dissolve the crystals.
Heat the pan gently to ensure all the sugar dissolves, then boil rapidly for 10 minutes, stirring regularly.
Take off the heat and test a large drop of jam on a chilled saucer. If the jam crinkles after a couple of minutes, it is then ready. If not, boil for another 2-3 minutes and repeat test until the jam is ready.
Remove excess scum with slotted spoon and then stir in the butter to remove the rest.
Ladle into sterilised jars. Makes about 6 x 300ml jars, approximately.
