Blackberry Jam,

I’ve been making this for as long as I can remember so measurements aren’t exact as I don’t measure a thing while making these

2-3 cups fresh (has to be fresh) black berries

Mashed until liquid and brought to a boil for about 3 minutes, remove from heat

2-3 cups of sugar (ideally 1 cup sugar per 1 cup of berries, and then personally I add a dash extra) added in while stirring constantly

Add back to heat and bring back to boil for another 3-5 minutes while stirring.

You could stop there but if you’re me you would add approximately 1/2 a package of pectin and 2 drops of vanilla l

And add to appropriate jar that’s been prepared according to their standards and allow to cool.

Buffalo Mountain, this is local to me and where I took my daughter for her first hike.
