Do you like ripe blackberries!? I love them! I grew thornless blackberry bushes for many years that produced such a wonderful yield that I would make blackberry crisp, delicious blackberry jam, blackberry margaritas… you name it, I would make good use of those fresh blackberries. And, of course, we always ate them fresh off the bush. I do love the taste of fresh summer blackberries and try my best to use them in blackberry recipes whenever possible.

Tips and variations for making this blackberry jam:

● 12 ounces of blackberries is 1.5 cups of blackberries

● You can use black or white chia seeds.

● The sweetener used is truvia, splenda, or whatever other sweetener you prefer. If you prefer jam recipes with less sugar – or no sugar – you will love this recipe.

● This recipe using lime juice, not lemon juice, which I feel compliments better. If you prefer lemon juice, feel free to swap it for the lime juice.

● If you would like to help the fruit macerate, use a potato masher.

● The way I make this batch of jam is with seeds, so this is not a seedless jam recipe. If you prefer a seedless blackberry jam, it is a bit more work for less product, but it can be done. Use a fine mesh strainer to hold the seeds as you push the blackberry jam through.

● I have never used wild blackberries to make this recipe, just store bought blackberries and homegrown blackberries.

● This is a refrigerator jam. There are no canning jars (sterilized jars), no hot water bath, no natural pectin, no processing time, etc. It is a simple homemade jam recipe that is kept in the fridge for a few days. Plan on consuming quickly.

● You are not limited to blackberries with this recipe. Try other berries to make raspberry jam, strawberry jam, blueberry jam, and more! You may have to “help” a strawberry or blueberry breakdown by mashing it, but that is fine. It just speeds the process along. Use the steps of this simple recipe with your favorite berry to make a delicious jam today!

● This recipe is made with simple ingredients commonly found at your local grocery store.
