Servings: 12 2 ounce servings
Calories: 279kcal
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh blackberries cleaned and dried
- 3 fresh jalapeno peppers seeded and finely chopped (about ¼ cup- adjust to taste for spiciness)
- ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 4 cups white granulated sugar
Instructions
- In a large sized saucepan, combine all ingredients and stir until fully combined.
- Heat 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.
Notes
- Yield: This recipe makes 3 (8 oz) jars which is abut 12 (2 ounce) servings or 24 (1 ounce) servings.
- Check the temperature with a candy thermometer: I find that using a candy thermometer helps to ensure that the consistency is perfect when making a pectin-free jam like this one.
- Choose ripe blackberries: They should be plump, firm, and dark black in color.
- Adjust for spiciness: My jalapenos after chopping measured about ¼ cup. Feel free to adjust the amount to taste for spiciness.
- Store in the refrigerator: Store the jam in sealed jars in the refrigerator for up to three months. You can also freeze the jam in freezer-safe containers for up to a year.
