@homesteaddreaming0: Blackberry Lemon Jam (with or w/out pectin) You can do this with any berries!!! Ingredients • 4 cups crushed blackberries • 4 cups granulated sugar • 2 tablespoons lemon juice • 1 teaspoon lemon zest • Optional: regular powdered pectin — use the amount listed on your package for 4 cups fruit and 4 cups sugar Directions 1. Wash blackberries, remove stems, and crush them with a potato masher. 2. Add crushed berries, sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest to a large pot. 3. If using pectin: Mix it with a little of the sugar first, then stir it into the berry mixture. 4. Bring everything to a full boil over medium-high heat, stirring often. 5. With pectin: Boil for the amount of time directed on the pectin package. 6. Without pectin: Continue boiling until the jam thickens and wrinkles when a small spoonful is placed on a cold plate and pushed with your finger. 7. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. 8. Spoon into clean jars. Water bath or steam can for 10 min. Be sure to adjust for your altitude. #canning #jam #blackberry #canningandpreserving #canningseason
