Blackberry Jam

Ingredients

• 4 cups Fresh Blackberries
• 4 cups Granulated Sugar
• 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice

Instructions

1. 1Rinse the blackberries thoroughly under cold running water. Remove any stems or leaves.
2. 2In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the blackberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
3. 3Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly to prevent sticking. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the jam thickens. This usually takes about 20-30 minutes. To test for doneness, place a small spoonful of jam on a chilled plate. If it sets quickly and wrinkles when you push it with your finger, it's ready.
4. 4If you want to can the jam for long-term storage, follow proper canning procedures. Otherwise, let the jam cool slightly and then transfer it to sterilized jars. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
