Blackberry jam

Blackberry jam is a traditional preserve highly valued in various Latin American cultures. In countries such as Mexico, Argentina, Chile, and Colombia, this sweet is made with wild or cultivated fruits, taking advantage of the abundance of blackberries at different times of the year. Although in some places it is simply known as "blackberry jam," in others it is called "blackberry preserve" or "blackberry sweet." The homemade preparation of this jam has been passed down from generation to generation, representing a connection to nature and regional culinary tradition.

This product stands out not only for its sweet and slightly acidic flavor but also for its versatility in the kitchen, whether as an accompaniment to breads, cheeses, or desserts. The combination of fresh fruit, sugar, and pectin, along with a touch of lemon juice, guarantees a perfect texture and an authentic flavor that reminds one of Latin American homes.

How to prepare Blackberry jam

Place the berries in a saucepan and crush them.

Gently heat until the juice starts to come out.
