Blackberry Jam Recipe: Add the lemon juice and lemon skin gratings to the blackberries in a large preserving pan and slowly bring to the boil gently stirring occasionally. When the fruit reaches boiling point turn it down so the fruit is simmering. You can stir it a bit more here so as to break up the fruit into a pulp. Next add your sugar stir it in and bring the jam back up to the boil to get its setting point. The sugar should be cooked in and dissolved completely before bring the mixture up to boil.

What are the pectin levels in fruit: Some fruits naturally have more or less pectin than others. For example, if you are making strawberry jam, you will need to use more pectin (of any kind) than if you are making blackberry jam, since blackberries naturally contain more pectin than strawberries. Generally speaking, the more ripe and wet the fruit is, the lower the pectin levels are. You can test for pectin levels and add or subtract by testing the jam while you are cooking it.
