Many Thanks for your post. I tried this today. Turned out great. But I did add surejell. Also a dash of cinnamon. Tastes great! i followed this recipe exactly and my jam did not thicken, can i maybe waterbath it within the 24hrs to get it to thicken?

Or can i maybe readf it to the pot and add pectin? Please help!! Hate for it to go to waste!! There is not quite enough natural pectin in most berries to thicken on their own, so adding pectin is best. Also, water bath for 10 minutes in boiling water to ensure a good, tight seal to avoid spoilage.

It never goes to waste. Try using it over ice cream, so good. Great recipe, I made two batches and followed your recipe exactly how you have it posted. No problems at all.

Gelled and sealed with a taste test from the grand daughter. Past her approval. Thanks for sharing. It always turns out great and seals every time. I make a least 24 pints to last thru the winter, and they are all gone by the time the berries come out again. This is my second year making the jam.

Current safety precautions in canning instructions recommend processing in hot water bath for 10 minutes after it comes to a boil. This ensures a good seal and kills any organisms that could cause spoilage. Tart apples such as Granny Smith have loads of natural pectin.

Peel, core and slice several apples and cook in saucepan with a little water until the apple slices are soft and tender. Mash the apples with a potato masher and add to your blackberries.

The addition of a couple apples will not affect the taste of the berries and the natural pectin will help the jam gel. Try the gel test: set several saucers in your freezer before making the jam. Return to the freezer for minutes. Run your finger through the jam sample.

If not, cook a little longer and try again. My mom makes homemade fig and blackberry jam, too! Thanks for joining us at Tuesday Turn About! I Will Provide com, By post k blog comments from where you will receive at least Made this recipe as written.

Towards the end of cooking , pull out one of the cold plates and put a small dollop of jam into the middle of the dish. After a couple of minutes , pull the dish out of the freezer and gently nudge the dollop of jam with the tip of your finger.

If it has formed a skin on top that wrinkles a bit when pushed, it is done. Storage Once the jam has had a chance to cool, you can check the seals on your jars.

In canning, the ratio of sugar to acid is important to create a safe product that properly sets. To account for differences in produce size, I always recommend weighing your blackberries on a kitchen scale to make sure that you have exactly 1 pound of fresh fruit.

Leave ¼-inch of headspace in each jar. The proper amount of headspace is important to ensure a vacuum seal. Bottled lemon juice rather than freshly-squeezed lemon juice has a consistent level of acidity to ensure a safe product that sets properly.
