How to Make Small Batch Blackberry Jam
- Gently mash 3 cups of blackberries in a non-reactive saucepan using a potato masher or fork. Leave some berries whole for texture.
- Stir in 1 ¾ cups (350g) of granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring gently and constantly, until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Increase heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Maintain a rolling boil, stirring frequently, for about 5-7 minutes, or until the jam reaches setting point (a small amount dropped onto a chilled plate wrinkles slightly when pushed with a finger).
- Remove from heat and skim off any foam that has formed on the surface.
- Ladle the hot jam into a sterilized 1-pint jar, leaving ¼ inch headspace.
- Wipe the jar rim clean, place the lid on, and tighten the band.
- Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (for best shelf stability, but optional if storing in the refrigerator).
- Allow the jar to cool completely. You should hear a “pop” sound as the jar seals.
- Store in a cool, dark place for up to a year if processed in a water bath; otherwise, refrigerate and consume within 3-4 weeks.
