It tastes wonderful. We love blackberry jam. We have just spotted an amazing spot this morning on our dog walk so we are going blackberrying again this weekend as we fancy trying the home made blackberry jam with fresh blackberries on a vanilla cheesecake .

I have been wondering this… Did the coconut sugar change the flavour substantially? I want to make blackberry jam but sadly can’t tolerate cane sugar.

A lovely video, and a great discussion on skinning, thank you! I have made jam too thick and have two fixes. One, just heat it up in the jar with the microwave and it will thin. Two, haul the whole batch out of the jars and back into the pot, and add blackberry juice as needed and reseal. Loved your video.😊 I make lots of blackberry jam here in Oregon, they grow wild everywhere.

Try a cold plate or spoon out of the freezer for the gel test! Also if you boil to 220 degrees F that is the known temp for jam setting ❤

I went out and picked a load of blackberries recently, didn't think what I was going to do with it all once picked, just felt like picking them. Got it all home, looked into processing so placed them all through the blender and put them through a strainer to remove as much solid as possible then through a second with smaller holes to remove nearly the rest of the solids. Just weighed it all and have 2.7kg of blackberry juice. I've ordered 12 of those jars from Amazon and looking forward to making some jam. I have to make jelly jam as I don't like the fruit in it, texture thing with ASD going on. I'm hoping I still mix weight for weight of sugar?

Blackberries are easier to pick than others because you get quite a lot of fruit together, and don't to squat and look under branches. You can use a big, deep liquids funnel with a long tube for even safer and quicker pouring without splashback. Nothing gets on the rim. New lids are available for about €0.15. I've never had an issue with overcooking. I use a wooden clothes pin and clip an IKEA Fantast to the pot, and cook until it reads 105°C. The jam has to be stirred to get an accurate temperature. Keep the falme. Then just bottle and cap each jar. Quick, optimal.

Thanks for the informative instructions. When I boiled my wild blackberries it didn’t have as much liquid as yours and never got to the scum stage…. Could it have been because I mushed the blackberries? I did only use just over half the sugar instead of 1-1
@gardenerscottageblakeney13164 ай бұрын
It may have been due to not enough sugar

We didn't want to can, & no room in fridge. So you did a "hot pour". Wish I knew, could have done a couple. Instead we made blackberry vodka or liqueur. Can't remember, bad memory & experimenting with different things. Anyway, I wonder if we can use the fruit we strain. We'll probably experiment with that too.
@gardenerscottageblakeney13163 ай бұрын
BlackBerry vodka sounds wonderful . I don’t think the strained blackberries would make a great jam . You may not get a good set . Maybe make use it up on icecream or in yoghurt or porridge .

I've made up a gallon of blackberry juice reducing 3 gallons of blackberries. Do you know if I can make jelly using the same method as you have shown? I usually mix the juice with more berries to make what I call "reduced seed jam". But i may try straight jelly. Might add some lemon juice to release more of the natural pectin. Thoughts, anyone?

@@gardenerscottageblakeney1316 Well sir, I did so this morning. Aside from reducing the sugar just a bit, I added 1 tablespoon of lemon juice per pint, it geled perfectly, and my wife who doesn't like the seeds thinks the jelly is delicious. Thus ends my jam making. 😃

@@gardenerscottageblakeney1316 It tastes ok not bad for the first one. my wife is diabetic so its a bit of a no no for her. Are there any diabetic alternative recipes you have? The jam was a bit thick and the fruit not completely integrated so i suspect that it could have benefitted from perhaps another 2-3 minutes of boiling or maybe i should have mashed it up a bit.
