Steps:

• In a non-reactive pan, mash the blackberries with a potato masher. Add the sugar and heat the contents over medium heat, stirring gently, until the sugar is dissolved. Raise the heat to medium-high and boil the mixture until a drop mounds in a chilled dish (this took around 10 minutes for me).
• Pour the jam into a jar and cap the jar tightly. Store in refrigerator. This jam should keep for several weeks.

Steps:

• Prepare fruit by crushing and then measure 3 cups of the fruit into a large bowl.
• Stir sugar into fruit and set aside for 10 minutes.
• Mix the water and the pectin together in a small saucepan.
• Bring to a full rolling boil over high heat while stirring constantly and continue boiling for 1 full minute.
• Stir the pectin/water into the fruit and stir constantly for 3 minutes.
• Fill plastic or glass freezer containers to within ½-inch of top, cover with lids and let stand at room temp for 24 hours.
• Store in freezer.
• After opening, store in refrigerator up to 3 weeks.

Steps:

• Mash blackberries with a potato masher or a fork in a large bowl.

Transfer jam to a large shallow bowl and chill, its surface covered with wax paper, until softly set, at least 30 minutes. (Jam will set further if chilled longer.)

Steps:

• Wash fruit and discard any skin (from peaches or the like).
• Cut fruit into pieces no larger than 1 inch each.
• In a large heavy-duty saucepan add the sugar and stir over medium heat while the sugar melts and the fruit softens.
• Cook, stirring constantly until the jam thickens. this may take an hour or more. Cool, then spoon into very clean jars, cover with clean lids and refrigerate up to 3 weeks.
