Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh blackberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 6 large leaves fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons powdered fruit pectin
- 3 tablespoons water
Instructions
Rinse and drain the blackberries thoroughly, then mash them with a fork or potato masher in a medium-sized bowl until they are broken down but still slightly chunky.
In a small bowl, combine the powdered fruit pectin and 3 tablespoons of water to form a smooth mixture. Set this aside.
Transfer the mashed blackberries to a medium saucepan. Add the granulated sugar, lime juice, and lime zest, and stir well to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring frequently, until the sugar has completely dissolved and the mixture begins to bubble gently (about 5–7 minutes).
Stir the prepared pectin mixture into the saucepan and continue cooking for another 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the jam thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat, and stir in the fresh mint leaves. Let the jam sit for 5 minutes to allow the mint to infuse its flavor. Remove and discard the mint leaves after infusion.
Let the jam cool to room temperature, then transfer it to a clean jar or airtight container.
Refrigerate the jam for at least 2 hours to allow it to set fully. Store in the refrigerator and consume within 2 weeks.
