Equipment
- 1 Medium Saucepan
Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh blackberries rinsed
- 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 Tablespoons water
- 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium saucepot, combine the blackberries, sugar, lemon juice, water and salt.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the blackberries start to break down and the liquids begin to boil, about 10 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for another 15-20 minutes, until all the berries have burst and the mixture has thickened. Mix every 5 minutes, and use your rubber spatula or wooden spoon to press the softened berries against the sides of the pot to mush them.
- Turn off the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Let cool slightly in the pot, then transfer to a heatproof bowl and allow to cool fully before serving or covering and storing in the fridge.
Notes
- All blackberries will have different amounts of natural water content inside. So keep a close eye on the jam and keep cooking it longer if the mixture is soupy. It will thicken naturally as the water simmers and evaporates.
