Spicy Blackberry Jam

We have wonderful Blackberry bushes that have brought an abundant harvest this year. We love our blackberries and often times have cobblers, pies, crisp, along with berries and cream. Some of the berries never make it out of the garden, we enjoy them right there. One of our favorite recipes for the berries is our Spicy Blackberry Jam, my Grandmother used this recipe every year for her berries.This year some folks will find one of these special little jars of jam in their Christmas Box. Sure hope you enjoy this old fashioned recipe for the berries.

We Have Wonderful Blackberry Bushes 
Here Come The Berries

When The Berries Are Ripe They Are Picked Everyday

We Are Ready To Make Some Jam!

Spicy Blackberry Jam

Miz Helen's Kitchen
Yield 7 (8 ounce) Jars

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!
