The Making Of Marionberry Jam Recipes

THE MAKING OF MARIONBERRY JAM

Steps:

• Smash down the berries with a potato masher. Measure the amount of berries so you know the amount of sugar you will need. For every one cup of smashed berries, use 3/4 cup sugar. Add the sugar and lemon juice. If you would like to remove the seeds, this is the time to do it by pressing the mixture through a sieve.
• Cook over medium heat until mixture starts to simmer. Simmer by half or until it has properly thickened. Keep in mind it will thicken more as it cools.

HOMEMADE BLACKBERRY JAM RECIPE (MARIONBERRY JAM)

Steps:

• Place the berries, sugar, and lemon juice in a medium saucepan.
• Bring the berries to a boil over medium high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer to thicken, approximately 15 minutes.
• Use a potato masher or fork to mash the fruit as much or little as desired.
• The jam is done when it is thick and more of a clump when put on a cold spoon or cold plate and tilted. If it runs like honey, it is not thick enough yet and you need to heat it longer.
• Store in a jar in the refrigerator for up to three weeks. Or freeze.
