What each ingredient does
- Blackberries
- Provide the fruit base, bulk, and flavour that the jam is built around.
- Sugar
- Sweetens the jam and helps it thicken and keep as it cooks down.
The step that matters
Boil the mixture for 30 to 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Boiling evaporates water and concentrates the fruit and sugar so the jam thickens. Stirring prevents sticking and scorching on the bottom of the pan, which would give a burnt taste.
