Blackberry Jam
Blackberry jam is an autumn preserve with a deep purple-burgundy color and a rich, slightly tannic aroma. Made from fresh or wild blackberries with sugar and lemon juice, it sets naturally and beautifully thanks to the high pectin content of blackberries. Perfect on buttered bread, in tarts, crepes, or as a dessert topping.
