Instructions
- Gently rinse the blackberries in cold water and drain them. Mash some of them with a fork to release the juice, leaving a few whole fruits.
- Pour the blackberries into a large, heavy-based saucepan with the water and lemon juice.
- Add the sugar and lemon zest, then simmer over medium heat, stirring regularly.
- Keep cooking for 30 to 35 minutes, until the jam coats the spoon and a drop on a cold plate sets in seconds.
- Remove the zest, pour the hot jam into the sterilised jars and seal straight away. Leave to cool at room temperature before storing in a cool place.
Variations and tips
Summer twist. Add a few fresh mint leaves at the end of cooking for a refreshing note.
