Canned Blackberry Jam

Canning is more then a hobby for me. I love it! There is just an amazing feeling I get everytime I open my pantry and see dozens of canned jars staring back at me filled to the brim with yummy foods for my family that I prepared. So, I thought what better way to get everyone else excited about canning then to share some of my recipes that I have gathered over the years. If you have any you would like to share please do! I love new recipes!

Blackberry Jam
3 quarts blackberries
6 Cups Sugar
4 glass Pint size canning jars with rings and new lids

In a large saucepan heat the blackberries until the juice comes out. Slowly add the sugar, mixing well. Bring to a boil, uncovered, for about 20 minutes or so mixing often.
Pour the mixture into the sterilized pint jars leaving 1/2 inch headspace.
Wipe the edge clean, cap and seal.
Process in a boiling water bath canner for 15 minutes, or adjust time for altitude if necessary.

Mix it up! Not enough blackberries? Try adding different types of berries for your own unique flavor! Just remember how much of which berry so you can reproduce it later when you realize how yummy it is!
