Blackberry and Apple Jam 500g blackberries 3 large apples 1kg sugar 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Core and roughly chop two of the apples. Put into a large pan with the blackberries, add just enough water to cover and simmer until soft. Push through a sieve to remove pips and peel.
Peel, core and chop the other apple into small pieces, and place in a large pan with the sieved fruit and the sugar. Bring to the boil and boil rapidly for about 10 minutes, until the jam reaches setting point. (To find setting point, drizzle a little jam onto a cold plate. If the surface of the jam wrinkles when you run your finger over it, it is ready. If not, continue to boil for a couple of minutes before testing again. Or you could use a jam thermometer.)
When the jam has reached setting point, pour into warm, sterilised jars, cover jars with lids or waxed discs and cellophane pot covers, label and store in a cool dark place. Makes about 4 1lb jars |
