Blackberries have a sweet tartness that comes alive when you use them to make jam. We add lime, which gives the beautiful purple jam a zest of citrusy sunshine and brightens the flavor of the blackberries. This jam begs to be put on your morning toast.
Ingredients
3½ pounds 1¾ cups - Grated
zest of 2
Method
Put a saucer in the freezer, along with three metal spoons.
Rinse the blackberries in a colander under cold running water and drain. Put the berries in a large heavy nonreactive saucepan and toss them with the sugar, lime zest, and lime juice. Cook over low heat, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved and the berries have released a lot of juice, about 10 minutes. Clip a candy thermome
