Luscious fresh Blackberry Jam

This is the most tasty jam recipe you will ever make and easy as ever.

Blackberry Jam


Servings: 2 cups of jam.

Ingredients:

4 cups of fresh blackberries
2 Tablespoons of fresh lemon juice
1/2 a package of powdered pectin
1.5 cups of sugar

Directions:

Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
In a medium-sized pot, mash blackberries with a potato masher or a fork. Over low heat, stir in the lemon juice and the pectin. Bring to a rolling boil and add the sugar, stirring until it dissolves. Return to a boil and boil rapidly for about 25 minutes, skimming off the foam and discarding, until the mixture thickens.
Pour the jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4-inch space at the top. Wipe the rims clean. Apply lids and clamp or screw on tightly. Process in a water bath (the large pot of boiling water) for 10 minutes.
Remove from water bath and set aside, letting cool to room temperature, about 8 hours (the jam will further set as it cools). Press on each lid. If a lid springs back, it is not sealed and refrigeration is necessary.
