Ingredients

450 g blackberries
450 sugar
2 tbsp lemon juice - (about a whole lemon)

Instructions

Wash the blackberries discarding any which are damaged and place in a saucepan. Add the sugar and lemon juice and stir.
Leave for an hour to allow the sugar to draw the juice from the fruit. Then heat gently to dissolve the sugar.
Once all the sugar is dissolved, quickly bring the temperature up to boiling to set the jam. Test with either a thermometer for a setting temperature of 105C, or another method as detailed in this post.
Spoon into sterlized, heated jam jars, seal with lids and allow to cool.

Wild blackberries have more pectin than farmed. If your berries are especially tart - but still ripe - you can use less lemon juice.
