Blackberry Jam

This is a stupendously simple blackberry jam that will make the absolute best of your foraged wild blackberries :) As someone who adores foraging English hedgergrows in autumn, this recipe makes my heart so happy. Blackberries are our native super fruits here in the UK. So fill of flavour, fibre, vitamin C and K. 

There are many ways to make a good blackberry jam. Myself, I like to include whole fruits and not strain all that fibre and texture out. It is a jam I am longing for, not a jelly. Store those fresh summer berries in a jam to enjoy all year with this easy, low sugar homemade blackberry jam recipe. Just 3 simple ingredients are all you need to have your own homemade Blackberry Jam!!

Ingredients:

• 6 cups fresh/frozen blackberries
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1-1½ cups granulated sugar

Method:

Add berries, lemon juice and sugar to a large pot and heat to medium. Use a fork or a potato masher to gently mash down the berries to release some of their juices.

Heat on  medium, bring to a gentle boil, and turn the heat down to medium-low to simmer. The berries will foam, just stir occasionally to reduce the foam.

Let simmer until the jam begins to gel, or when the temperature of the jam reaches 105º. Once ready, add to canning jars and enjoy.
