The Best Apricot Blackberry Jam!!

And the final Way fun thing we did before Barry got home was make Jam!! We used apricots and blackberrys to make a blackberry jam. The apricots take on the flavor of the blackberries and then it makes them not so seedy. INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING JAM...
Apricots in the food processor
Kind of grind them up, but don't pulverize them. Because jam is suppose to be the fruit, while jelly is the juice.
Grind the blackberries up also.

Mix them together with sugar, and the no sugar needed Pectin. Put it into a pot and have it come to a raging boil.

Keep stiring!!! Once it has come to a raging boil add the rest of the "sugar." We used Aguave Nectar because it is sweeter than sugar, but you don't need as much, and it is better for Barry with his diabetes.


And then you get the beautiful product:

It was really fun to be able to use the great fruit we got from the Farmer's Market to make such great jam!! Thanks Mom for your guidance, and providing your kitchen for the mess!! But it really was worth it!!
