I thank God for all the BlackBerry trees around us, they are magnificent and this was my first year of making its jam Superb.Thanks for the great content,stay blessed.
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 .
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.
Thanks for this! I found this while looking for dewberry recipes (basically the hot weather, vine version of blackberries) since it's the season for them now. This seems really easy to follow!
We keep ours in our cold pantry which is like a fridge . We have kept jars in there for over 12 months although the blackberry jam is so good it rarely lasts that long . It’s always the first to get eaten
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?
Thank you for feedback Gloria . Glad the video was helpful . If the jam pot lids won’t seal it’s usually down to a fault with the lid so we would put those two in the fridge and use them first. Let us know how the jam tastes
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
mine kinda burnt when i made it, though it was only in for the same amount of around 15 minutes however i have way less blackberries and sugar so i tried to add a little bit of water and it tastes very burnt but ill try again another time
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.
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.
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 hello i have just literally put into the fridge a batch of blackberry jam we picked today to your recipe its the first jam i have ever made i put less sugar in it was about 500g of fruit and just over 400g of brown granulated sugar. it looked ok . how long in the fridge before we can test it on a piece of bread? i found the set test info useful
You can test it as soon as it’s cold . It may not have set as thickly with less sugar and it may not last as long . I would recommend keeping it in the fridge and eating it quickly . Let us know how you get on . Blackberry jam is one of our favourites
@@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.
Have to hunting the neighbourhood for blackberries. 😀 Looks so good. Thank you for showing your recipe.
Hope you find lots of blackberries 😊

Wonderful! It’s our favourite jam glad you enjoyed making it
I made it with coconut palm sugar, added a bit of vanilla extract and squeeze of lemon. It came out delicious! Thank you sir
Fantastic! Thank you for letting us know
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.
That’s a very good question
Did the coconut palm sugar change the flavour of the jam
I love blackberries.....this looks and probably tastes amazing!

Great tips thank you for sharing Bob . BlackBerry Jam is our absolute favourite to make and eat
Thank you for explaining it all really well. Am subscribing! Great content - and nice to have British content for a change.
You are very welcome glad you are enjoying the content and thank you ☺️ for subscribing
This is great, will be trying this out this week as here in Suffolk the hedges are groaning with fruit. How wide/deep is your pan please?
It’s such a great year for blackberries enjoy 😊
this jam is so delicious when you actually make it
Thank you it is we are just finishing off the last of last years blackberry jam it’s really delicious on scones
Oh so wish had a silicone scraper and a small dish of ice cream to help you clean out that pot! Thank you for sharing this.
You are so welcome!
Thanks for this delicious recipe ❤
My pleasure 😊 glad you enjoyed it

Hope you enjoy ☺️ thank you for letting us know
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 ❤
Thanks for the tip!
lovely recipe! how long are these good in the fridge? :)

What can I do if my lids didn’t seal? Wonderful video. My first time making blackberry jam. All lids sealed except 2.

It may have been due to not enough sugar
Fantastic thanks for the video
Glad you enjoyed it
Can you do this with raspberries?
Does it matter if the blackberries are frozen?
No it makes no difference at all we usually freeze some blackberries every year so we can make jams or coulis in winter
mine kinda burnt when i made it, though it was only in for the same amount of around 15 minutes however i have way less blackberries and sugar so i tried to add a little bit of water and it tastes very burnt but ill try again another time
So sorry to hear this it’s worth trying again and cooking on a lower heat for less time if the quantities are less
@@gardenerscottageblakeney1316 Alright thank you
You are most welcome ☺️ hope it goes well next time

That’s great 😀 to hear glad it worked and thank you for the tips
Can you make the jam without using sugar at all?
Not to my knowledge I think it would be impossible unless anyone knows differently .
can you do this with mullberries
Not sure we’ve never grown mulberries
Yes you can.
That’s good to know do they require more sugar
Do they require more sugar
❤❤❤
Thank you
Какая вкуснота и красота!😍
It truly is . It’s our favourite
Just use kilner jars
Thank you for the tip we always used to use kilner jars but we had these in so I like to reuse them
😋🍇
Thank you 🙏
