Ingredients

  • 1 quart (2 pints) fresh blackberries
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (60g) water
  • 1-2 Tbsp (15-30g) lemon juice

Directions

  1. Combine blackberries and sugar in a medium saucepan. Smash the berries using your hands or a fork to break them down and macerate them with the sugar.
  2. Add the water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes or until the liquid is reduced and thickened, stirring occasionally. You can check the thickness by pouring about 1 teaspoon, or 4 grams, on a small plate, and placing it in the fridge for 1 minute. If after one minute it forms a sticky string when rubbed between two fingers, it’s done. 
  3. Once the jam has thickened, stir in the lemon juice to taste.  Pass the jam through a fine-mesh strainer and let it cool completely. Serve and enjoy.
