| Hi - I have a lot of blackberries and strawberries, and am looking for variations of jam that is not just the typical. I'm thinking something spicy - cinnamon? nutmeg? Anyone got recipe or variation they would like to share? Thanks! Jennie |

| Have you checked out all the recipes in the discussion linked below? What books do you have available? I know both Ferber's books have some good recipes in them. This recipe is from Food in Jars Seedless Blackberry Jam 6 cups blackberry pulp (8-9 cups of berries, mashed through a strainer with the back of a wooden spoon) Standard instructions but don't forget that once the pectin is added a good hard boil for 5 to 7 minutes to insure set is needed so watch out for scorching. And be sure to freeze some of the blackberries so you can make Blackberry-Peach jam once the peaches come in. Dave |

| I do know from personal experience (and not following directions) that if you use a blackberry jam/jelly recipe that calls for 3 oz liquid pectin and use artificial sweetener instead of sugar, it will make blackberry sauce that never will set up - but is delicious on ice cream and/or cake, added to lemonade, as a sauce on pork or chicken. I'm sure the same would work for strawberry. |

| As our family has grown older we use less Jam, but use more "syrup". There are multiple sources for blackberry/XXXX jam recipes available with a google search. To make the syrup we just back off of the pectin. This may not fit your request, but here is a recipe for Blackberry/Peach Jam. |
