Blackberry Jam - with powdered pectin
2 qts delicious, ripe blackberries7 c. sugarOne '1+3/4' ounce box powdered pectin
Wash the berries and crush them well. If you prefer less seedy jam, sieve half of the crushed berries to remove seeds. In a sauce pan, combine 4 c. crushed berries with the sugar and bring to a full rolling boil. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent scorching. Remove from heat and stir in the powdered pectin. For five min you will need to skim off the foam. Between skimmings, stir some more. Fill warm sterilized jars and seal.
Makes 4 pints.
Optional: If you prefer a more tart jam, replace 1/4 c. of the berries with 1/4 c. freshly squeezed lemon juice.
