Seedless Organic Blackberry Jam-Just 4 Ingredients!

[WinglessAngel]

Well it's berry season finally!

Our organic wild and Himalayan Blackberries are coming in and I've just done my first batch of canned seedless jam!

So I thought I might share with everyone my recipe for it, super easy and has so few ingredients it's wonderful!

One stock pot of frozen/fresh berries, your choice in size. Cook on medium heat to reduce the berries down and stir often, a potato masher works great to get the juices and pulp going.

When it's cooked down strain with cloth (I let mine cool on the counter for about an hour and then sit in the fridge over night) I use old clean cotton or linen sheeting, works better at keeping the seeds out than cheesecloth does, to remove all the seeds and pulp.

Add just enough sugar to taste and cook to melt the sugar, my 7 pint batch only used 4 cups of sugar, far less than the 1 cup per pint called for by ball jam canning recipes.

Let cool.

Measure out whats left to see how many pints you will end up with. add a scant 1/4tsp vanilla extract for every pint you end up being able to make and add your pectin, I used 1 1/2 TableSpoons per pint. Mix well and reheat on high heat bringing it to a boil. Boil for one minute (making sure not to let it boil over). Let cool while you get your jam jars readied and then can according to your favorite way!

This jam is absolutely wonderful and so full of flavor and turned out with a great jam consistency. It took about 2 days to set which wasnt bad consisering the ball pectin canisters say up to 2 wks!

I hope you enjoy my recipe, it's as simple and bare of a recipe as you can get but the flavor explosion is incredible. Much better for you and your families than the jams the commercial companies make and adding all the extra stuff in that a lot of commercial companies do.

Happy cooking, canning and gardening everyone!
