About the Recipe

​

Ingredients

  • 4 cups blackberries

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

  • 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1⁄4 teaspoon ground allspice

  • 1⁄2 teaspoon lemon juice

Preparation

Step 1


Place blackberries in a saucepan and mash them with a potato masher. Be careful – the blackberries will squirt out juices as you do this, so I recommend that you wear an apron.


Step 2


Stir sugar into the blackberry mash and mix until juices form.


Step 3


Pour a tablespoon of the juice into a separate container. Pour in the cornstarch and mix until combined. Place cornstarch mixture into the blackberry mixture.


Step 4


Bring berries to a boil. Stir constantly until the jam has thickened. This will take about 15 minutes. Stir in cinnamon and allspice. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Place the jam into a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until chilled. Add in lemon juice and mix well.


Step 5


Enjoy!
