Spicy Blackberry Jam
Miz Helen's Kitchen
Ingredients
5 cups Blackberries
7 cups sugar
1- (1 3/4 ounce) package dry pectin
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
Directions
Mix the sugar, cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg in a bowl and set aside.
Wash the berries, then crush them with a potato masher.
Pour the berries and the juice in a very large stew pot over high heat. Stir the berries constantly.
Add the pectin to the berries a little at a time stirring constantly, until the berries reach a full boil.
Add the sugar and spice mix stirring constantly, so the berries don't scorch. Bring the mixture back to a full boil and boil for 1 minute.
Remove the mix from the heat and ladle into hot sterilized jars. Be sure and leave a little room at the top of the jar, then seal with the canning lid and ring.
Process the filled jars in a water bath for 10 minutes.
Remove to a cooling area and do not disturb for at least 24 hours.
Store in a cool dry place until opening.
Enjoy!
