I suffered the scrapes and prickles of the blackberry bushes on my uncle's property so I could bring home a bag full of sweet fruits and attempt to make some jam.
I had never made jam before but I was able to find a recipe on the internet so I gave it a go.
The secret to getting jam to set is pectin but if you don't have that you can add lemon juice instead.
After the mix has been brought to a simmer you drain off the foam and pour the mix into a sterile jar. It will set as it cools.

You basically mush up the fruit add two teaspoons of lemon juice and stir in two cups of sugar while the fruit is simmering on the stove.

The result was tasty and I will definitely try to make more with different fruits in the future.
