Jam

Ingredients
1 kg Fruit (used wild blackberries at The Old Corn Mill)
1 kg of Jam Sugar
Knob of butter
Method
Place clean jars in oven at 100°C
Place lids in a pot and bring to the boil for a minute
Mash half the berries to a pulp
Add sugar & butter
Warm gently, stirring often, until sugar is dissolved
Bring to the boil for 4 minutes then remove from heat
Test that setting point has been reached (put a small amount of the liquid onto a cold plate, then push your finger through it. If it wrinkles then setting point has been reached). If using a thermometer, this is at about 105°C
If setting point hasn't been reached then boil for another 30 seconds and test again
Mix the whole berries evenly through jam and pour into warmed jars
Dry off lids and seal immediately
