Blackberry Jam

Ingredients

8 cups blackberry, washed and stems removed

4 cups sugar

1/2 tsp ground cinammon

Method

1. Place all ingredients except brandy in a large pot.  Mash the blackberry as much as possible and bring to a boil.
2. Reduce heat to medium low and continue stirring to prevent it from burning and remove any foam as you stir.
3. Simmer until the mixture is slightly thick for about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the consistency of the jam you preferred.  Add brandy to the pot and stir to mix well.
4. Boil the jars and lids in a pot of boiling water for 5 mins. Remove them from the pot using a tong.
5. Ladle the jam into the sterilized jars leaving slightly more than 1cm space on top.  Cover with lid and let it cool.
6. When cooled, store them in the fridge and enjoy the luscious and super delicious jam within 6 months.

Note: I use normal jars for storage.
