There are many options - from classic jam to unusual mixes with other berries and fruits.

Selection and preparation of berries

Before making any blackberry jam, you need to stock up on knowledge about selecting and preparing berries. The blackberry harvest season in greatest volumes occurs in the second half of August. During this period, you can safely harvest your own harvest or buy berries at a not very high cost. There are several rules:

• When buying berries at the market, try to choose ripe, but still elastic fruits. Soft, bruised blackberries are only suitable if you decide to make liquid jam or jam and will grind purchased sweet products;
• do not buy unripe berries, because blackberries do not ripen when already picked. From such berries the jam will be sour and tart;
• if you collect blackberries yourself, then try to do everything quickly and immediately put the harvested crop into processing, so that during subsequent washing the berries do not lose some of their precious juice;
• At home, sort through the fruits, remove any adhering debris, leaves, etc. Then wash the berries. It is better to do this under a kitchen shower, because such water pressure cannot damage the structure of the blackberries.

Advice! If possible, be sure to prepare forest blackberries - they are many times more useful than their cultivated counterparts!

Preparing the container

Ready-made jam is usually placed in jars, and they must be sterilized. There are several ways to sterilize jars:

1. Take cold water into a large saucepan, immerse half-liter or liter jars in it, put the container on the fire and let the contents boil for about half an hour. Then remove the jars, turn them upside down and dry;
2. Fill a small saucepan with water, place a wire rack or special sterilization device on top and boil the water. Place the jars one by one on the wire rack (head down) and let them stand for 15 minutes;
3. Personally, I use the least troublesome method of sterilization: I put the jars in a cold oven and heat them at 180 degrees for about half an hour. You don’t even have to dry them after that.

Recipes

It is impossible to describe the abundance of options for delicious blackberry delicacies. I will share only those that I have personally tested and my favorite ones.

A simple recipe for blackberry jam

To make blackberry jam according to the classic recipe, you only need sugar and berries. The result is a very appetizing thick jam, which in its usefulness and taste is in no way inferior to the no less popular raspberry jam.

Recipe information

• Cuisine:Russian
• Type of dish: jam
• Cooking method: boiling
• Portions:0.8 l
• 5-6 hours

Ingredients:

• fresh blackberries – 1 kg
• granulated sugar – 1 kg.

Cooking method:

Sort the blackberries, setting aside the rotten or crushed berries, and then transfer them to a colander and carefully, but very carefully, rinse under a weak stream of running water. If your berry still has stalks, then during the washing process you need to remove them with gentle circular movements.


Let the washed berries dry, then sprinkle them with sugar, mix gently and leave for 5-6 hours at room temperature.

During the cooking process, stir the jam periodically with a wooden spatula so that it does not burn, and remove the foam from its surface as it appears.


Pour the boiling jam into sterilized jars and seal tightly.

Note to the owner:

• You can not wash blackberries picked from your own garden before adding sugar, but simply remove the debris.
• To make a thicker jam, you can boil it 2-3 times, waiting until it cools completely between approaches.
• If a berry sprinkled with sugar releases very little juice, you can add a little water to the jam before boiling. Considering that the more water, the less intense the taste and aroma of the product.

There are different ways to make blackberry jam. Traditionally, blackberry jam is made from pitted and pitted blackberries. There are also modernized recipes. So, modern housewives cook , , . But if you are preparing jam for the winter and want it to turn out “berry by berry”, it is preferable to choose the classic version - thick blackberry jam with whole berries. It is called thick because it is cooked without adding water and tends to gel when it cools.

Below is a recipe for thick blackberry jam with whole berries with photos step by step. On cold winter days, the blackberry jam you prepare using this recipe will remind everyone who tries it of summer.

How to make thick blackberry jam with whole berries at home

If you pay attention not only to taste, but also want to get the most healthy product possible, it is preferable to use wild berries rather than garden ones, despite the fact that they are smaller and less juicy. When making berry jam from blackberries with seeds, it is important to preserve the integrity of the berries. At the same time, numerous seeds in blackberries do not spoil its taste. Jam from garden blackberries with seeds is prepared in the same way as from wild berries. Jam made from wild blackberries with seeds is more aromatic and thicker. The best jam is made from freshly picked berries.

If you buy berries, keep in mind: in order for the berries to remain intact and the jam to be tasty, the original product must consist of ripe and undamaged berries. The berries should look dry. If the berries are wet, it means that there are many damaged ones among them. Such blackberries turn sour very quickly and lose their nutritional value.

First of all, you need to sort through the berries in order to remove everything unnecessary - random leaves, twigs, berry tails, damaged berries. Then the blackberries need to be washed and allowed to drain. You can make a delicious compote from mashed blackberries, or grind them with sugar.

For making blackberry jam, nickel-plated or enameled dishes without chips or damage - a basin or a wide saucepan - are well suited.

After transferring the prepared berries into the bowl in which the jam will be cooked, they must be covered with granulated sugar and left for 1-2 hours so that the berries release their juice.

When the granulated sugar takes on a pinkish-purple hue, the bowl with the future blackberry jam must be placed on low heat until the sugar is completely dissolved. In this case, it is necessary to ensure that the granulated sugar on the bottom of the dish does not burn. To do this, you need to periodically lightly shake the bowl with a mixture of blackberries and sugar. If you want the blackberry jam not to be very thick, then before putting the bowl with the mixture on the fire, you can add 50 g (a quarter cup) of water. This entire process will take about 10 minutes.

After the granulated sugar has completely dissolved in the blackberry juice, remove the dishes from the heat and allow them to cool. This may take no more than an hour. But if you are busy, you can start further cooking the blackberry jam a little later.

Next, the blackberry jam preparation must be placed on high heat for 15-20 minutes. This allows you to get blackberry jam with a bright, rich color. But at the same time, it is important to ensure that it does not burn and that the blackberries remain intact and do not fall apart. To do this, the jam must be stirred lightly from time to time so that the berries are evenly distributed in the bowl. The abundant foam that forms during the cooking process can be left in place. By the end of cooking, its quantity will greatly decrease. When you lightly shake the bowl with jam, the remaining foam will collect on the surface of the jam in the middle, then it can be easily removed with a slotted spoon.

You can determine the readiness of blackberry jam with whole berries in the following way: you need to drop some syrup onto a plate and wait for the drop to cool. If the jam is ready, the drop on the plate will not spread.

.

If the drop spreads when you slightly tilt the plate, it means the jam is not ready yet.

How to sterilize jars for storing blackberry jam

While the jam is being cooked, or beforehand, you need to prepare jars for storing it. The easiest way to sterilize jars can be done using a regular kitchen kettle. Carefully treat the inside of well-washed jars with hot steam coming from the spout of a boiling kettle. Fill the lids of the jars with boiling water and keep on fire for 10 minutes. After sterilization, place the jars and lids upside down on a dry towel.

The finished jam is poured hot into prepared, sterilized, warm jars. The jars of jam are quickly and tightly closed with a lid.

As it cools, the jam should thicken. To strengthen the tightness of the lid, which is important when storing jam until winter, the neck of the jar along the edge of the lid can be additionally wrapped with a ribbon of ordinary stationery tape. After cooling, the blackberry jam is placed in a cool place.
