  • Prepare your blackberries properly: Before using your blackberries, rinse them gently under cold water and pick out any stems or leaves.
  • Don't overcook your jam: The key to a good jam is to cook it until it has thickened, but not so long that it becomes too thick and sticky.
  • Let your jam cool completely: Before spreading the jam onto your bars, let it cool completely. This will help to prevent the jam from running off the bars.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut your bars: To get clean, even slices, use a sharp knife to cut your bars.
