Ingredients
- 2 cups blackberries
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the blackberries under running water and gently pat them dry with a paper towel.
Step 2
Place the blackberries in a medium-sized saucepan and mash them slightly with a potato masher or fork to release their juices.
Step 3
Add the granulated sugar and lemon juice to the saucepan, stirring to combine.
Step 4
Heat the mixture over medium-high heat until it begins to boil, stirring frequently to prevent sticking or burning.
Step 5
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let the mixture simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The jam will thicken as it cooks.
Step 6
To test the consistency, place a small spoonful of the jam on a chilled plate and let it cool for 1 minute. If it wrinkles slightly when pushed with your finger, it’s ready. If not, continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes and test again.
Step 7
Once the jam reaches the desired consistency, remove it from the heat and let it cool for 5-10 minutes.
Step 8
Transfer the jam to a clean, sterilized jar and let it cool completely to room temperature before sealing with a lid.
Step 9
Store the jam in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks and enjoy!
