With just three ingredients this blackberry jam recipe couldn't be more simple!
Ingredients
- 8 cups ripe blackberries
- 7 cups organic sugar
- 2 Tablespoons organic lemon juice
Directions
- Place 2 cups of berries in a blender or food processor and pulse to gently crush the berries. Continue crushing the berries in 2-cup batches until all are done.
- Transfer the crushed fruit to a large saucepan along with the sugar and lemon juice. Bring the fruit to a boil and cook, stirring constantly for about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat and continue to cook the fruit down for about 20 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat and skim any foam that may have accumulated during cooking. Pour the jam into sterilized, hot half-pint jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace, and adjust the lids. Process in a water-bath canner for 15 minutes.
- Allow the jars to rest in the canner for about 5 minutes, then remove them and allow them to rest for 12 hours before labeling.
