To prepare tasty and healthy blackberry jam, you need high-quality, ripe berries and adherence to the recipe. As is known, heat treatment destroys almost all valuable properties in products, thereby reducing their final value. But in the case of such healthy berries as blackberries, this is unacceptable, so recipes for quick jam preparation will be in great demand.

Classic recipe

You will need 1 kilogram of berries and sugar. If the blackberries are a little sour, increase the amount of sugar, but if they are sweet, then leave the proportional ratio 1:1. It’s easy to make this jam; you just need to know a couple of secrets:

You only need a ripe berry, blackberries will not ripen at home, like ripe gooseberries, for example;
You need to peel the berry carefully, tear off the tails so as not to damage it, dip it in ice water and pull out the tails in a circular motion;
be sure to wash it and remember that it is not, and this berry does not absorb water, so it should be dried on a towel, shaking occasionally so that all the liquid flows out.

Making classic blackberry jam

Now you can start preparing the delicacy. Sprinkle the washed and dried berries with sugar and grind with a wooden masher so that the blackberries turn into puree and begin to release juice. Leave the resulting mixture to sit for 8-12 hours. After this time, stir the blackberry puree, the sugar should completely dissolve, you can put the mixture into jars and close with rubber lids. This jam should be stored on a shelf in the refrigerator.

Blackberry-raspberry jam - an “explosive mixture” against colds

You need 1 kg of raspberries and blackberries, 1.5 kg of sugar. Wash the blackberries and dry them well, but you don’t need to wash the raspberries, just sort them out. Mix the berries in a bowl and add sugar to them, mix everything well, using a little force. Leave the mixture to steep in a cool place for at least 12 hours. Then mix everything again, you can put it in jars. This is not only a delicious, but also a healthy dessert that will help cure a cold and lift your spirits on a cloudy winter day.

Of course, you can make jam without cooking, but if you want to complement the taste of blackberries and add other fruits or berries to the recipe, you will have to boil it a little.

Blackberry jam with lemon

To prepare this delicacy you need the following products: 1 kg of blackberries, half a lemon, 1 kg of sugar and 250 ml of purified water, or even better, take your favorite natural juice. In order not to lose all the vitamins, this jam can be cooked according to the recipe for five minutes. Prepare the berries, peel and zest the lemon, remove the seeds. Next, start preparing the syrup: put the water or juice on the fire and, stirring constantly, bring to a boil. Then boil for another 3-5 minutes. Finely chop the zest in advance, but without the white shell, which gives bitterness, add it to the boiling syrup and cook for 10 minutes. Then add the berries and keep them on the fire for no more than 2 minutes, then add the pre-cut lemon pulp and simmer for another 5 minutes over low heat. Five-minute blackberry and lemon jam is ready! Pour into jars and leave to cool.

Blackberry jam - recipe with cloves and plums

You can supplement this healthy treat by adding other berries and fruits to the recipe. So, to prepare this jam we need: 450 g of blackberries and small plums, raspberries and elderberries (250 g each), 1.3 kg of sugar and 2 lemons, you can add cloves if desired. Place all the berries in a saucepan, add pitted plums, pour in lemon juice and add a couple of sprigs of cloves. Bring everything to a boil and simmer for at least an hour. The resulting mass should be rubbed through a sieve and left to drain overnight. The next morning, when the juice has drained, add sugar to it - for 600 g you need 450 g of sugar. Put on fire and cook for 20 minutes.

Jam in 5 minutes

A five-minute preparation is made from one type of berry, sugar is added in a ratio of 1:2 and citric acid (at the tip of a knife). According to this recipe, the berries remain intact. Cover the blackberries with sugar for 4 hours and leave to release the juice, then boil for 5 minutes. The five-minute jam is ready, now you can pour it into jars and seal the healing preparation. Jam made from this miracle berry will not only help you survive the winter without coughing, but also get a boost of energy.

There are many options - from classic jam to unusual mixes with other berries and fruits.

Selection and preparation of berries

Before making any blackberry jam, you need to stock up on knowledge about selecting and preparing berries. The blackberry harvest season in greatest volumes occurs in the second half of August. During this period, you can safely harvest your own harvest or buy berries at a not very high cost. There are several rules:

When buying berries at the market, try to choose ripe, but still elastic fruits. Soft, bruised blackberries are only suitable if you decide to make liquid jam or jam and will grind purchased sweet products;
do not buy unripe berries, because blackberries do not ripen when already picked. From such berries the jam will be sour and tart;
if you collect blackberries yourself, then try to do everything quickly and immediately put the harvested crop into processing, so that during subsequent washing the berries do not lose some of their precious juice;
At home, sort through the fruits, remove any adhering debris, leaves, etc. Then wash the berries. It is better to do this under a kitchen shower, because such water pressure cannot damage the structure of the blackberry.

Advice! If possible, be sure to prepare forest blackberries - they are many times more useful than their cultivated counterparts!

Preparing the container

Ready-made jam is usually placed in jars, and they must be sterilized. There are several ways to sterilize jars:

Take cold water into a large saucepan, immerse half-liter or liter jars in it, put the container on the fire and let the contents boil for about half an hour. Then remove the jars, turn them upside down and dry;
Fill a small saucepan with water, place a wire rack or special sterilization device on top and boil the water. Place the jars one by one on the wire rack (head down) and let them stand for 15 minutes;
Personally, I use the least troublesome method of sterilization: I put the jars in a cold oven and heat them at 180 degrees for about half an hour. You don’t even have to dry them after that.

Recipes

It is impossible to describe the abundance of options for delicious blackberry delicacies. I will share only those that I have personally tested and my favorites.

A simple recipe for blackberry jam

To make blackberry jam according to the classic recipe, you only need sugar and berries. The result is a very appetizing thick jam, which in its usefulness and taste is in no way inferior to the no less popular raspberry jam.

Recipe Information

Cuisine:Russian
Type of dish: jam
Cooking method: boiling
Portions:0.8 l
5-6 hours

Ingredients:

fresh blackberries – 1 kg
granulated sugar – 1 kg.

Cooking method:

Sort the blackberries, setting aside the rotten or crushed berries, and then transfer them to a colander and carefully, but very carefully, rinse under a weak stream of running water. If your berry still has stalks, then during the washing process you need to remove them with gentle circular movements.

Let the washed berries dry, then sprinkle them with sugar, mix gently and leave for 5-6 hours at room temperature.

Place the blackberries that have released their juice into an enamel pan and place on low heat. Cook for about 30 minutes after boiling or longer, depending on how thick you want the jam to be. During the cooking process, stir the jam periodically with a wooden spatula so that it does not burn, and remove the foam from its surface as it appears.

Pour the boiling jam into sterilized jars and seal tightly.

Note to the owner:

You can not wash blackberries picked from your own garden before adding sugar, but simply remove the debris.
To make a thicker jam, you can boil it 2-3 times, waiting until it cools completely between approaches.
If a berry sprinkled with sugar releases very little juice, you can add a little water to the jam before boiling. Considering that the more water, the less intense the taste and aroma of the product.
For a more interesting taste, you can add lemon zest, ground cinnamon or chopped mint leaves to blackberry jam at the beginning of cooking.

If you are planning to make blackberry jam, then check out these very useful recommendations:

For children, seedless jam is usually prepared. To do this, after washing and cleaning the blackberries, you need to hold them in hot water for about 3 minutes, and then rub them through a sieve.
If you want the fruits in the jam to be whole, then you cannot wash them before cooking, and during cooking you need to stir them very carefully with a wooden spoon.
It is advisable to cook jam in a wide container, this way excess water evaporates faster and the structure of the berries is minimally destroyed.
The jam will be more flavorful if you add orange or lemon zest to it at the beginning of cooking.
In addition to citrus zest, mint sprigs are added to blackberry jam. It produces a wonderful refreshing aroma. Cinnamon sticks and vanilla are also used as flavoring additives.
In order for the jam to have an excellent smell and taste, it cannot be cooked for a long time. It is better to cook in several stages with alternate infusion and cooling.
Those types of blackberry jam that require minimal heat treatment must be stored in the refrigerator. And dense jams that take a long time to cook can be rolled up with lids and stored at room temperature.
