Homemade Blackberry Jam made without store bought pectin. A great way to preserve blackberries without using preservatives. There's nothing like opening a can of Blackberry Jam in the middle of winter.
Other ways we love to use blackberries are Blackberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake, Blackberry Buckle, Blackberry Crumb Muffins, and Blackberry Cobbler.
I have decided to try my hand at Blackberry Jam without Pectin. I just don't want to feed my kids all the extra junk in the pectin products.
I also like to save money since jam is so expensive, even from Costco. The triple bonus is I know what I have put into my own jam and know exactly what my children are eating, no extra junk or fillers.
I can control the amount of sugar added and it's just good ole organic jam.
To be totally honest nothing taste better then homemade jam, especially when it's cold outside and the fruits of summer are long gone, you can pop open a can of jam and spread it on a nice buttermilk biscuit or drop a spoonful in your tea, the taste of fresh blackberries fills your mouth and brings a small remembrance of summer.
