Ingredients
Directions
- In a saucepan, mix the fresh blackberries with sugar. Gently stir to coat the blackberries and let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the juices to flow.
- Set the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Stir occasionally, using a wooden spoon to mash the blackberries and help them break down.
- Once it begins to bubble, lower the heat to medium-low and add the lemon juice. Keep cooking, stirring often, for about 20-25 minutes until the mixture thickens to your liking.
- To test if the jam has thickened, place a small amount on a cold plate and push it with your finger. If it keeps its shape, it’s ready. If not, let it simmer for a few more minutes.
- Take it off the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before pouring the jam into sterilized jars.
- Seal the jars and let them cool to room temperature before placing them in the refrigerator. Enjoy your homemade blackberry jam on toast, pancakes, or desserts.
