Tips
- Be sure to stir the jam frequently while it cooks to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- The longer you let the jam simmer, the thicker it will become.
- To test if the jam has reached the proper consistency, spoon a small amount onto a plate and place it in the freezer for a few minutes.
- If it sets up and becomes jam-like, it’s ready!
- The jam will thicken as it cools, so don’t worry if it seems thin while it’s still hot.
We are sure you are a perfect cook! Nonetheless, do remember to pay attention to the amount of Wild Blackberry or Black Raspberry Jam you consume: it should always be modified based on the strength of your product and the potency you desire. Dosing homemade edibles can be tricky, so it is strongly recommended to start with one portion of a serving. After one or two hours, listen to your body and decide whether to consume more. It is not recommended to drive or operate any machinery when taking edibles. Use responsibly!
