I normally sterilize the lids, rings, and jar in a hot water bath on the stove for about 10 mins. I ladle hot jam in jars, seal, then water bath again for 10-15 mins. Remove from heat, place jars top down on towel and allow to sit overnight.
Everybody's complaining about the amount of sugar go buy a pakage of sure-jell and see the amount of sugar they call for They have reduced sugar sure-jell too for those who don't want to use the full amount
I picked blackberries and made Jam, same weight of each fruit and sugar, i dissolved a cube of jelly (the stuff that sets wobbly) in half a cup of boiling water and threw that in to help it set works great
Thanks for sharing. The Blackberries here are beginning to ripen. A couple more weeks and I should have my gallon of berries. I am going to venture into making Ebelskivers and this jam will make a perfect accompaniment.
Good idea to soak berries overnight to get any beasties out. I'm paranoid and check every single berry for bugs 😂 there's nothing worse than finding a spider in your crumble or jam x
So then what do you do after you turn them over do you leave them overnight do y poo u leave them a while or refrigerate after that ...... what do you do?????
You can if you are going to use it like you would am open jar of jam and store it in the fridge. You can also do that if you are making freezer jam (store it in the freezer) but if you want it to have a long shel life it would need to have an air tight seal so you wouldn't be able to use plastic containers. Hope that answer your question :)
Some recipes measure berry amount before mashing. Then equal amount sugar. Curious to me all the variations. I sealed my jars with “regular pectin” at the top. Easy.
I made blackberry jam a couple summers ago and it turned out great! I was just wondering if I could use raspberries with this recipe since that's what is in season. I'm guessing I would just have to change the amount of sugar? Let me know! Thanks.
Don’t use pectin: it ruins the flavour of the jam; makes it taste funny. Preserve instead with the juice from a freshly squeezed lemon 🍋 - your our tastebuds will thank me! Equal parts fruit to sugar: cup for a cup. Store in your fridge and it should be fine for weeks.
Thetruthsetsyoufree Honestly i made this video for my mom several years ago when she asked how I made my jam. I didn’t intend it to be used as a complete how to and didn’t realize it would be get so many views and comments. If I ever decided to make other how to videos I will include everything.
If you put your finger on the lid and can push it down and it pops up it is not sealed. If it is concaved and does not move when pushing on it then it had sealed. But I would not do this until it has cooled for you may mess up the sealing process.
Every year I look up your recipe and make it! I cannot tell you how many people love my jam! Thanks for the recipe. 😊

Great video and I love your tag-a-long berry eater!
Helped me a lot making the jam. Good Video! Just less sugar lol.
Splenda works exactly as sugar does, but won't kill you if you're diabetic!
Oliver The Saint Bernard so how much sugar should go with this?
@@nathanielparga4816 all you really need is one cup. The berries already have a natural sugar that is released when cooked.
Used this for my refresher training for blackberry jam. Thanks for putting this together

Niceeee and will 3 cups of sugar be fine? 7 cups of sugar seems a lot haha. Nice work tho!!
I think the amount of sugar used was excessive (I will use much less), but I appreciate the simplicity of your tutorial. You make it seem doable. 👍🏼

ADD BALSALMIC VINEGAR!!!! It makes the taste just pop!!! About a Tablespoon. I also add lemon juice!!
Like the recipe. Love the berry eating dog 😊
Linda N Thank you ☺️
I had a beagle one time as a kid that also loved to pick and eat blackberries

7 cups sugar to 5 cups berries? Riiiiiight
That's what I was saying, crazy,
It's great but too much sugar
Does the recipe really need that much sugar.
When I get a car I’m gonna name it Jimin so I can Park Jimin 😂😂😂 (Jin’s windshield wiper laugh)
I come here to find jimin some jams and i see dis cringy pun
Ooooo! black berries FRESH off dat bush!!
Wow you are brave!..they tell you right on the package not to use a glass stove top...

Oh my god y’all I found jimin’s jams
MORE JAMS FOR JIMIN!!!
I like to make fresh berry jam. It's just smashed up berries on some buttery toast!
Once everything’s done, how long do you let it sit before opening the jars?
24 hours
A small pay of butter with help with the froth on top...
Neta Wright I just made this jam with raspberries and that froth put on top of vanilla ice cream is amazing i would reccomend doing that instead
Have you tried jam sugar ? It's sugar with the pectin added all ready
Blake reeder no I have actually never heard of it. I will check it out! Thanks.

How long to keep before expiration

Emma Elbon yes it would be the same or less sugar would work too. The sugar amount is completely up to you.
Emma Elbon contrimu
Until they have completely cooled or I will lift them straight up without flipping them and if they have sealed I will flip them over.
I hope those are thornless blackberries for your pup
Christ on a bike! Why sooo much sugar? My teeth are singing just thinking about it lol
How long do you let them sit upside down? And how long does it take to set up and be ready to eat?
I leave them upside down a couple of hours. I always put some in a bowl to eat right away

savedfaves how much lemon juice? Like if I have 5 cups of berries how much should I use?
how long do you let the jars sit upside down for?
I am wondering that too. Won’t they gel like that with a space at the bottom?
#jimin
Thanks, but can I used something else instead of sugar
Max kokoshka you can use any sweetener you would like or prefer.
I used sweetener on my strawberry jam and it was great. It's cup for cup. Use the sweetener that is for cooking.
You don’t explain why you put them upside down 🤷🏼♂️
Why didnt you sterilize your jars?!
christian sister I do that before I do anything else. I just didn't not include it in the video.
@@allieelmo Well I was asking the same question perhaps you could have mentioned it in the video..
Thetruthsetsyoufree Honestly i made this video for my mom several years ago when she asked how I made my jam. I didn’t intend it to be used as a complete how to and didn’t realize it would be get so many views and comments. If I ever decided to make other how to videos I will include everything.
@@allieelmo Awesomeness.. I think you should do more videos:-)
Oh shit! This video just have me Diabetes!!!
How do you not have a hundred thousand subscribers
could you store your jam in plastic containers?
If you freeze it you can. This same recipe makes great freezer jam.
How can you tell if it sealed correctly?
If you put your finger on the lid and can push it down and it pops up it is not sealed. If it is concaved and does not move when pushing on it then it had sealed. But I would not do this until it has cooled for you may mess up the sealing process.
Oh good,it worked for me! Haha made some lack berry jelly ,you should try it out! Do u have email or snap chat or?
That seems like way too much sugar (White Death)....there has to be a way to make it without that much sugar!!!
Instant diabetes! Americans ... ;-) Thanks for sharing though! Gonna try some of my own, freshly picked.
all jam is made with that much sugar, you just didn't know it.
Your first mistake was adding heat
Why do add sugar, too much sugar. This supposed to be natural
It takes a lot of sugar to get it to jell properly. I cut it back as much as I can, but still get a good jell. I think you can cut it back 50%
7 cups of sugar? Way, way too much! Blackberries should have a little tartness to them.... reduce sugar to about 2 cups. NOT 7!
Wendy Denney as I have mentioned in reply to other comments the amount of sugar you use is totally up to you.
Sugar, holy shit!
y u sounding like your boyfriend broke up with u
