🧂 Ingredients

1 In a large saucepan, combine the blackberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Make sure
there is enough headspace to allow for foaming.
2 Turn the heat to medium-low and simmer the mixture, stirring regularly to keep
the bubbles down. It should take about 20-30 minutes for the jam to reach the
gel stage, depending on the sugar amount. (More sugar will cause the jam to gel
faster and yield a higher amount.)
3 To test if the jam has reached the gel stage, place a plate in the freezer and
drop a small amount of jam on it. If it thickens, it's ready.
4 Once the jam is ready, pour it into prepared canning jars, leaving 1/4 inch of
headspace. You can store the jars in the refrigerator or process them in a water
bath canner for 10 minutes.
