Instructions
- Add berries, lemon juice, and sugar to a large pot and heat to medium. Use a fork or a potato masher to gently mash down the berries to release some of their jucies.
- Heat on medium, bring to a gentle boil, and then turn the heat down to medium-low to simmer. The berries will foam, just stir occasionally to reduce the foam.
- Let simmer until the jam begins to gel, or when the temperature of the jam reaches 221° F.
- Add to canning jars and can with a water bath or store in fridge or freezer.

- Storage
- Storage
- Fridge: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 weeks.
- Freezer: Store in a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 3 months.
- Canning: Use safe water bath canning methods to can and store this jam for up to 1 year in a cool dry place.
- Substitutions
- Substitutions
- Blackberries: You can use frozen blackberries in place of fresh by adding the thawed berries to a bowl with the lemon juice. Let it all macerate (soften) in the lemon juice first and then add to the pot with sugar.
- Lemon Juice: For this recipe, we prefer to use concentrate to ensure high acidity, which can vary if using fresh lemons.
- Sugar: This is a low sugar jam. While we prefer to use only 1 - 1 1/2 cups of granulated white sugar, you can use up to 5 or 6 for a very very sweet jam. You can also use up maple syrup or honey, 1 cup for a low sugar jam, or more for a much sweeter jam.
- Tips
- Tips
- Pot: Use a larger pot because the berries will foam as they reduce, to prevent foaming over.
