Source of Recipe


Gourmet, August 2004






List of Ingredients



• 1 lb. blackberries (about 4 cups)
  
• 3/4 cup sugar
  
• 2 Tbsp powdered pectin
  
• 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  






Instructions



1. Mash fruit with a potato masher or a fork in a large bowl.
   
   
2. Stir together berries, sugar, pectin and lemon juice in a 12-inch nonstick skillet, then boil, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 7 minutes.
   
   
3. Transfer jam to a large shallow bowl and chill, its surface covered with wax paper, until softly set -- at least 30 minutes. Jam will set further if chilled longer.
   
   Makes about 1-1/2 cups of jam.
