Old Bachelor's Jam image

Any berry will work in old bachelor's jam. The layered fruit spread is ripe for experimentation. Here it's made with blackberries, raspberries, and kirsch and spread on the cornmeal crust of a blackberry tart. Some say the liquor-infused jam was named for its capacity to warm single gentlemen on winter nights.

Yield Makes four 1/2-pint-size jars

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 pounds blackberries (7 cups)
3 1/2 cups sugar
2 lemons, halved
2 pounds raspberries (7 cups)
4 ounces kirsch or other cherry-flavored liqueur (1/2 cup)

Steps:

  • Bring blackberries, 1 3/4 cups sugar, and the juice of 1 lemon to a simmer in a large pot over medium heat. Cook until sugar dissolves and berries are soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Press parchment directly on surface of jam, and refrigerate overnight. Repeat with raspberries and remaining 1 3/4 cups sugar and juiced lemon in another large pot.
  • Remove parchment; bring each pot to a boil. Cook over medium-high heat until berries are slightly broken down and jam is the consistency of very loose jelly, about 12 minutes for the blackberries and about 17 minutes for the raspberries. Plate-test jam to make sure it is set.
  • Divide blackberry jam between four 1/2-pint-size sterilized glass jars, filling each halfway; top each with 1/2 ounce kirsch. Divide raspberry jam between jars; top each with 1/2 ounce kirsch, leaving 1/4-inch headspace at tops. Can in water bath for 10 minutes. Unopened jam can be stored at room temperature for up to 1 year.

Categories     dessert

Time 4h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup finely ground almonds
1 heaping tablespoon brown sugar
Pinch salt
1/2 pound cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
5 to 6 tablespoons ice water
Bag of dried beans
3 pints blackberries
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Pinch salt
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, small cubes
Juice 3 lemons
1 tablespoon finely chopped lemon zest
1 tablespoon brown sugar

Steps:

  • For Crust: In large mixing bowl, mix the flour, ground almonds, brown sugar and salt together. Rub the butter pieces into the flour mixture. Add the ice water and gently knead until dough comes together. Wrap in plastic and form in flat disc about 1-inch thick. Refrigerate dough for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Sprinkle flour on the countertop and roll out the dough to an even thickness, round shape. Place dough round in a 10-inch tart pan with removable bottom. Fold any edges inside, forming a thicker crust. Leave the dough a bit longer than the edges of the tart pan to allow for shrinking during cooking. Line the inside of the crust with parchment paper or foil. Pour in the beans, filling to the edges. Bake about 20 minutes, or until bottom begins to look cooked. Let cool. Remove the beans and foil.
  • For Tart: Toss the berries with the flour, salt, sugar, butter, and lemon juice and lemon zest. Stir in the brown sugar. Place the fruit in a saute pan over medium heat and cook just until a sauce is formed. Place the fruit in the baked crust and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the fruit bubbles and juice thickens.
  • Remove from oven and cool for 2 hours before slicing.
