Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh blackberries
- 2-3 Jalapeno peppers seeded and finely chopped (about ¼ cup- adjust to taste for spiciness)
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 4 cups granulated sugar
Instructions
- In a large sized saucepan, combine all ingredients and stir until combined.
- Place over medium high heat and continue to stir until the berries begin to burst and sugar is dissolved.
- Use a potato masher, or the back of the spoon to press the berries until smooth.
- Increase the temperature slightly and cook until the jam reaches 220 degrees, stirring every few minutes. This will take about 25-30 minutes.
- Remove jam from heat and allow to cool slightly, before transferring to jars for storage.
- *When I am doing a pectin-free jam like this one, I like to use a candy thermometer so the consistency is perfect.

Notes
- Give it time to thicken: Don’t rush the process. It is going to take some time to get the correct texture and consistency.
- Use a candy thermometer: I highly recommend that you use a candy thermometer to ensure that the jam reaches the necessary temperature.
- Make it seedless. If you aren't a fan of blackberry seeds you can run the jam through a fine mesh strainer to remove them.
