Method

  • step 1

    Put two small plates in the freezer ready to test the set of the jam. Put the apples in a heavy pan or preserving pan with the lemon juice and 250ml water. Bring up to the boil, then simmer for 5-8 mins until soft.

  • step 2

    Add the blackberries and sugar and stir to combine. Stir over a low heat until the sugar his dissolved, then turn the heat up to medium and simmer for 30-35 mins until the jam is at setting stage.

  • step 3

    To test the jam, take one of the plates out of the freezer and place a little bit of jam on it, if it sets and when you run your finger over it and it wrinkles, it means it’s ready.

  • step 4

    Using a funnel, transfer the jam to a sterilised jar. Make sure you seal the lids once it’s cold. Will keep in the fridge for six months in a sealed, sterilised jar.

I've used this recipe a couple of times now. The recipe is easy to follow for the most part, with good results. The taste of the apples is not very powerful, so the blackberries are the main taste.

The recipe would benefit from the addition of a line stating the jam should be continuously stirred…

Second time I’ve made this and it hasn’t set! I think the water quantity should be 25ml instead of 250!

I'm sorry but I think you're giving the wrong advice about sealing the jars. I understood you should always seal jam jars when they are hot (not cold) to create a vacuum and ensure the jam is preserved.

question

What weight of apple should we have after peeling and coring?

cyndigalley90782

The 500 gram is the weight you need before peeling, coring and chopping. So whatever weight you are left with after doing that should be correct for the recipe.
