We went over the chase on a blustery showery day, and picked blackberries. When it really started to rain we had to give up, however we had enough blackberries to make our first pots of jam.
RECIPE
FOR EACH 100GRAMS OF BRAMBLEBERRIES(BLACKBERRIES)USE 100GRAMS OF JAM SUGAR WITH PECTIN
300G BLACKBERRIES
300G JAM SUGAR
Rrinse and take off any stalks and twiggy bits off the blackberries.
Put the jam sugar over the top, into an ovenproof dish
Cover with tin foil
Put into a preheated oven of 200degrees
Cook for 40 minutes
...
Take out of the oven, take off the tin foil, return to the oven for a further 20 minutes uncovered
...
Remove from the oven, leave aside for 10 minutes then stir together with the jam sugar, taking it all up into a mushy consistency. Strain through a sieve into a jar, pushing through as much of the berry as possible.
Pour the mixture into hot sterilized jars, leave to cool, then cover with cling film and jar lid.
Add pretty cover and label.
Ready to eat same day and it is delicious, it does keep, as there is preservative in the sugar. Enjoy
