Apple & Blackberry Jam

November 21, 2019

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I recommend that everyone makes jam at least once in their life. We love to pick blackberries in September and October and usually have enough to make jam after freezing some for winter crumbles and smoothies.

If the blackberries have been picked near a road we wash them in Milton before using. This Autumn there was a bumper crop of blackberries growing on every bush and I couldn’t resist stopping to pick them.
