Seedless Blackberry Jam Recipe
Today we're diving into the world of homemade delights with a step-by-step guide to making delicious seedless blackberry jam.
Equipment
- Large saucepan
- Potato masher
- Fine-mesh strainer
- Sterilized jars with lids
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh blackberries
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 lemon (for zest and juice)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Wash the blackberries thoroughly and place them in a large saucepan.
- Add granulated sugar to the blackberries and stir gently to combine.
- Zest the lemon and squeeze out its juice. Add both the zest and juice to the saucepan.
- Over medium heat, bring the mixture to a boil while stirring frequently.
- Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 30-40 minutes. Mash the blackberries occasionally with a potato masher to break them down.
- To test the consistency, place a small amount of jam on a chilled plate and run your finger through it. If it wrinkles and doesn't flow back together, it's ready.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Allow the jam to cool slightly, then strain it through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any remaining seeds.
- Pour the seedless blackberry jam into sterilized jars, leaving a little space at the top.
- Seal the jars with lids and let them cool to room temperature before storing them in the refrigerator.
