Blackberry Jam: Gourmet Recipe

Ingredients:

• 6 cups fresh blackberries
• 3 cups granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Clean the blackberries and remove any stems and leaves.
2. In a large pot, combine the blackberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
3. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
4. Over medium-high heat, bring the mixture to a boil.
5. Once boiling, lower the heat to a simmer and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for about 25-30 minutes or until the mixture thickens to the desired consistency.
6. To check the consistency, test the jam on a cold plate. Place a small spoonful of jam on the plate and let it cool for a few seconds. If it is too runny and spreads easily, cook for a few more minutes. If it is thick and sticky, it is ready.
7. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
8. Pour the jam into sterilized jars and let cool at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate until ready to use.
9. Serve the blackberry jam on toast, muffins, scones, or as a topping for ice cream. Enjoy!
