It's coming into the Autumn time and the blackberries are out! I picked loads this year and made some jam and an apple pie.This time I decided to make it completely natural and sugar free jam.
Make sure when you pick the berries that they don't come off the stem too easily or are too difficult to pull off. It means they are not good enough to eat or aren't ripe enough yet. Soak the berries in water over night while changing the water a few times if you can to make sure they are extra clean.
Ingredients:
-Blackberries
-Cooking apples
-Honey
-Chia Seeds
So first I peeled and stewed the apples with the blackberries. (roughly x3 apples to x200g of berries)I then let it simmer for 15 minutes. Add a few table spoons of honey.
Blackberries can be quite bitter so the honey takes this away making it more sweet.
Take off the heat. A few table spoons of Chia Seeds depending on how much you Have made. The Chia Seeds help set the jam as there is no sugar in it to make it set.
So enjoy this tasty Sugar Free jam without feeling guilty! It's yummy in yoghurt, porridge, bread, scones,!
If you want to have dairy free cream with it, whip up some coconut milk ;)
