Total Time

Ingredients
- 4 cups blackberry
- 3 cups sugar
- ½ teaspoon citric acid
Instructions
- Wash the blackberries and place them in a 4 quart saucepan.
- Add 2 cups of sugar over the top and set aside till the next day. (see note #1 below)
- Bring the content to a boil and continue to boil for another 5 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium low.
- Add 1 cup of sugar.
- Cook for another 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the berries from sticking to the pan.
- Add the citric acid.
- By this time the syrup has thickened slightly.
- Cook for another 5 minutes on medium heat and turn heat off. (see note #2 below)
♣ Notes
- 1. If you find that the blackberries have not released any juices by the next day, add a cup of water.
- 2. The way to test if the jam is done, is by placing a tablespoon of the syrup onto a plate, leaving it to cool. You’ll notice it has thickened further as it cooled.
