Time 1h40m

Yield 1 1/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

One 16-ounce bag frozen blackberries, thawed, juice reserved
4 cups fresh basil leaves (3 1/2 ounces)
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup fresh orange juice (from 1 large orange)
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 1 medium lemon)

Steps:

  • Serving suggestions: Serve on toasted bread, alongside cheeses, or on lamb chops. Mix with yogurt and granola, or layer in desserts or parfaits.
  • Place the blackberries and their juice in a medium saucepan and lightly mash with a fork. In a food processor, combine the basil, sugar, orange juice and lemon juice. Blend until smooth. Stir the mixture into the blackberries and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer until the mixture is thick, stirring occasionally, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the jam to cool for 1 hour (the jam will continue to thicken as it cools). Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

This recipe was a waste of time. The jam never set properly and it tasted terrible.

I'm not sure I would make this jam again. It was a lot of work and the flavor wasn't that great.

I'm not a big fan of basil, but I loved this jam. The basil flavor is subtle and it really complements the blackberries.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover blackberries. I always have a few berries left over after making a pie or cobbler.

I had a hard time finding fresh blackberries, so I used frozen berries instead. The jam still turned out great!

I thought the basil flavor was a bit too strong. I would recommend using less basil next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

I made this jam with fresh blackberries from my garden. It turned out so good! The basil adds a unique flavor that really complements the sweetness of the berries.
