I keep getting told that this is the best jelly any one has tasted. I kinda munged up the recipe and used pectin instead, using what the can said to use for the amount of fruit. Turned out absolutely great, good consistency, great flavor.

On taste alone this is a 10.

If you are looking for something different or a “gift” jam, stop looking, this is the one. The blackberries and lemons are perfect together and then it finishes with a hint of vanilla. Amazing!

The only reason this is not getting 5 mitts is the gelatin. For the beginner, such as myself, I am unfamiliar with the finer points of cooking with gelatin other than opening a box of Jell-O and adding water. I added it slowly and stirred very quickly but still got some lumps that I finally had to scoop out. Don’t let this stop you from making this jam. Next time I will add the gelatin even slower and I’m sure I wont have any lumps. Trust me when I say this jam is worth any extra effort.

This looks wonderful! I recently purchesed a TINY little jar of blackberry jam from France (at Wegmans) for about $9.00 and it was WONDERFUL, even my 8 year old son was loving it.

I will definitely try this and let you know how it went!!

Thank you!
