Making Blackberry Jam
This video demonstrates how to make blackberry jam. The chef in the video uses a strainer to remove the seeds before making the jam, which is not necessary for jams which usually contain some seeds. She also uses pectin to help thicken the jam, which is also not needed as blackberries should have enough natural pectin to thicken on their own. Adding pectin does speed up the process, however.
