Ingredients




500 grams blackberries, fresh
1 1/2 cups sugar (caster)
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Preparation

1 Place fruit and lemon juice in pan and crush with a potato masher, bring to the boil, simmer 10 minutes, stirring regularly. Add sugar and simmer a further 5-10 minutes or until jam has sufficiently thickened. 2 To test: remove a tsp of liquid from the jam and place on a plate, allow to cool. If a skin forms and jam holds its shape it is ready. 3 Pour into sterilised jars and seal.
