I know it seems kind of weird to be talking about blackberry jam when it isn’t even blackberry season.\u00a0 Evidently Kroger didn’t get the memo, because they had blackberries on special last week for a ridiculously low price.\u00a0 Since I was about to empty my last jar of peach jam<\/a>, I bought enough blackberries and made seven one-half pint jars of it.\u00a0 And I’m so glad I did.\u00a0 I also bought a box of pectin to help in the jelling process and used their blackberry jam recipe.\u00a0 If you are craving the tastes of summer, this might satisfy the yen.\u00a0 Also, it works great as an ice cream sauce.\u00a0 Add a dollop of whipped cream, and you have a blackberry sundae.\u00a0 Now, that’s a summertime treat that you can enjoy right now.<\/h3>\n

BLACKBERRY JAM<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

(source – Sure Jell)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0– 8 cups blackberries<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

\u00a0– Crush the berries, and you will end up with around 5 cups of crushed blackberries.\u00a0 Pour into a heavy saucepan.<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

\u00a0– Add 1 box of pectin (I used Sure-Jell).\u00a0 Add 1\/2 teaspoon butter to reduce foaming.<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

\u00a0– Bring mixture to a full rolling boil on high heat, stirring constantly.<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

\u00a0– Add 6 1\/2 cups sugar to the boiling fruit.\u00a0 Return to a full\u00a0 rolling boil and boil exactly 1 minutes, stirring constantly.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0– Remove from heat and skim off any foam that forms on the top.<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

\u00a0– Ladle immediately into sterilized jars, filling each withing 1\/4 inch of the top.\u00a0 Wipe jar rims and threads.\u00a0 Cover with two-piece lids.<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

\u00a0– Place jars on an elevated rack in a large pan and cover completely with water.\u00a0 Simmer for 10 minutes.<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

\u00a0– Remove jars and place upright on a towel to cool completely.\u00a0 When each jar seals, it will make a popping sound.\u00a0 If a jar is not sealed, the lid will be flexible.\u00a0 Refrigerate any jars that did not seal and eat that jam within two weeks.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Even though there are several steps, this recipe is really easy to follow, and the final product is delicious.\u00a0 You and your family and\/or friends will appreciate the effort you put out to make this special treat.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Have a great week-end.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Take care.<\/h3>\n
