Has anybody got a recipe for seedless blackberry or blackberry/apple or pear jam please?!
Answers: I go with the recipe from the excellent blog - The Cottage Smallholder. You may find a squeeze of lemon juice helps it to set. I followed this recipe and have a lovely clear jam...
All jam recipe's are the same.
To make them seedless the finished product has to be strained through a gause, something like a very clean teacloth will suffice.
