🍯 Blackberry Jam with Honey Recipe
- Cuisine: American
- Servings: Approximately 1.5 cups of jam (about 12 servings)
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 25 minutes
- Total Time: 35 minutes
- Keywords: Blackberry jam, honey-sweetened, homemade jam, natural preserves
🥄 Equipment Needed
- Medium saucepan
- Wooden spoon or spatula
- Potato masher or fork
- Clean glass jars with lids (for storing)
🍇 Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh blackberries (about 1 ½ lbs)
- ½ cup honey (preferably a mild variety like clover or wildflower)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (helps with preservation and adds brightness)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional for added depth)
👩🍳 Instructions
- Prepare the Blackberries: Wash the blackberries thoroughly and remove any stems or leaves.
- Cook the Jam: Place the blackberries in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the honey and lemon juice. Stir occasionally as the blackberries start to release their juices.
- Mash the Berries: After about 5 minutes, use a potato masher or fork to mash the blackberries to your desired consistency. You can leave some pieces for a chunky jam or mash thoroughly for a smoother texture.
- Simmer the Jam: Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture starts to thicken. This should take about 15-20 minutes. As it cooks, you’ll notice it becoming more jam-like in consistency.
- Test the Thickness: To check if the jam is ready, place a small spoonful on a plate. Let it cool for a few seconds, then tilt the plate. If the jam holds its shape and doesn’t run easily, it’s ready. If it’s too runny, continue cooking for a few more minutes.
- Add Vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract (if using) once the jam has reached the desired consistency.
- Cool and Store: Remove from heat and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Transfer the jam to clean glass jars. Seal and refrigerate. The jam will keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

🌟 Additional Notes
- Adjusting Sweetness: Feel free to adjust the honey quantity to your taste.
- Thicker Jam: If you prefer a thicker jam, let it simmer for a bit longer or add a teaspoon of chia seeds while cooking, which will naturally thicken the jam as it cools.
- Longer Storage: For extended storage, you can sterilize jars and follow a canning process.
