What to do with blackberry jam?

I don’t know how long canned blackberry jam lasts, but if it will last for a year or more, I’d say that you have most of your Christmas shopping done already.

Exactly! For the last couple years, my Christmas giving has consisted largely of canned stuffs.

Add some to BBQ sauce, one that isn’t very sweet - a restaurant near me has incredible BBQ pork ribs with blackberry glaze.

Another excellent idea.

As my wife has gone crazy with canning and making jam… I have a lot of experience with this.

All of the above.

Also… did you attempt to strain out the blackberry seeds or leave them in? We leave the seeds in since they don’t bother us but I was curious what others do.

Jam on top of ice cream. How could you not know this?

Or in a shake.

Roast duck.

Mixed into porridge/oatmeal.

Cut with vinegar as a dressing on a salad which includes blue cheese.

Bacon sandwiches.

I did both. The first batch, I strained (I thought it was going to be a syrup) and nearly all the seeds were strained out. The second batch I lightly strained.

I LOVE the seeds.

Oh, and I bought some ribs, so tomorrow it will be blackberry jam BBQ ribs. Yum.

Stir a couple tablespoons into a pound of ground beef for burgers. No one will be able to place the flavor.

If you make either pork or beef or lamb pot roasts, you can add the jam to the water along with wine and bouillon. I’ve used whatever flavor jam is in the fridge and it always turns out yummy.
