This recipe was passed on to me from a lady who had owned a berry farm for many many years and it literally takes me 20 minutes from start to finish.

I’ve used this recipe with all kinds of fruit including strawberries and blackberries; it’s versatile and can be used with whatever fruit or berry you prefer!

Recipe

• Sure jell premium fruit pectin
• 2 cups sugar
• 4 cups crushed blackberries (or fruit of choice)
• 1/2 lemons worth of juice (optional/brings out flavor)

Instructions

• Make sure your jars are cleaned and sanitized before starting
• Mix together crushed fruit and sugar and let sit for 10 mins.
• Bring 1 pkg Sure Jell and 1/2 water to rolling boil and stir continuously for 1 minute (it will thicken slightly)
• Add fruit mixture to boiling sure jell and stir continuously for 3 minutes.
• Turn burner off and immediately ladle into jars and apply the lid.
• As the jam cools, the lids will pop for a airtight seal.
• Keep jars at room temperature for 24 hours before opening or placing in fridge. This allows for the jelly-like texture to form.
• Jam keeps in fridge for up to 3 weeks

And that’s it! I’ve had such great feedback on this jam! My dad and his best friend literally ate 1/2 a jar in one breakfast sitting!

I will say when I am using a fruit with seeds (blackberries), I don’t strain out the seeds. That’s just my personal preference though!
