Ingredients:

  • 4 cups (600g) fresh blackberries
  • 1 packet (1.75 oz / 50g) low-sugar pectin
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1.5 cups (300g) cane sugar

Instructions:

  1. Place the blackberries in a heavy-bottomed pot and use a potato masher to crush the berries to the desired consistency.
  2. Stir in the lemon juice and low-sugar pectin. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the berries reach a simmer.
  3. Pour in the sugar all at once. Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a full, rolling boil. Boil hard for exactly one minute, stirring vigorously to prevent scorching.
  4. Ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch of headspace. Remove air bubbles, wipe rims, apply lids, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
