This video shows you how to make seedless blackberry jam using a food mill and normal canning practices. See information about this and more on our web site!
Thanks for showing how to deseed blackberries! I sympathize with the stove space. It can be juggling act. One comment. People should read the directions on their pectin. Cooking directions vary depending on the type of pectin you're using. I use the Sure Jell low sugar and you add 1/4c of the sugar to the pectin, mix, add to the berries, bring the berries to a rolling boil and then add all the remaining sugar. So check the directions on the pectin that you're using.
I have limited kitchen space as well as a glass top stove. You cannot use that kind of pot on a glass top stove. I use a propane burner that I use for the water bath part. You know, one of those burners that come with deep fried turkey fryers. I set that up outside on the porch and make the jellies inside. Works pretty well and keeps the boiling water at a constant temp. Just ad water as needed.
Olen Soifer I'm not familiar with the type of unit you're referring to. The one I use in the video (Victorio VKP250) was ordered from Amazon. It did cost ~$50.00, but we easily got the value out of it in the first year of use.
I couldn't figure out why this video kind of horrified me to watch until I realized that it literally looks like this guy is slowly forcing the food mill to poop.
Adding a tablespoon of butter will help reduce the foaming. Just a little tip. Thanks for the video man.
This looks really good your tutorial taught me so much. I'm now clear on how to sterilize my jars.
I ordered my food mill today on the Oct 4th and when I get it I can't wait to make grap juice it's so good

Very good tutorial you are really good at explaining everything.

Thank you I want seedless jam...I wish we could have been on the side you were on..
thank you, learned alot
add itablespoon of butter to last 1 min boil and you wont have foam, the butter does not effect the jelly or jam
What model of food mill is that? Ive tried many and they dont work! They get clogged
Isn't this jelly? Jelly is made just from the juice. Jam contains fruit pulp, maybe even seeds and skin?
I am just wondering how many food mills have plates with holes small enough to retain blackberry seeds...which are quite small?
Most food mills don't look like what you are using or have screens. The affordable units have plates with holes, not screens.

Where did you get that grindy thing?

You should see what it looks like up close! It's not necessarily pretty, but removing the seeds from blackberries makes the jam so much better.
I'm a plumber yes it does.
why not cook the berries first?
You're making jelly not jam.
Can't believe the red pusher dropped on floor u never washed it .. ( than u touched your nose & face ..than handled the Berries.. yikes...
