I've searched the web and keep getting recipes for 'blackberry pie' and variations of it from American websites - I'm not too interested in pie's so I'm hoping some JT'ers will have ideas.

put blackberries in pot with same weight sugar & a little water, bring to the boil & simmer for 30 mins, add some fresh lemon juice to help set. clean & bake some jars & lids to make them sterile & fill jars while jam is hot. when cool lids will seal under vacum. to serve bake some scones & serve with fresh whipped cream. yum!
