Blackberry jam is very easy to make. We are very fortunate to live close to the country, where there are lots of wild blackberries that are free for the taking every August. I look forward to canning blackberry jam and blackberry jelly at the end of every summer.

 

You can make blackberry jelly with either liquid or powdered pectin. Instructions for each are listed below.
