Print Recipe

This Easy Blackberry-Honey No-Sugar Jam is a simple, three-ingredient recipe naturally sweetened with honey. It sets perfectly, keeps for weeks in the fridge, and is perfect on toast, yogurt, or ice cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (about 600g) fresh or frozen blackberries
  • ½ cup (170g) mild honey (such as wildflower or clover)
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) fresh lemon juice
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep the berries: Rinse blackberries under cold water and pick out any stems or leaves. If using frozen berries, thaw in a colander for about 30 minutes and pat dry gently.
  2. Mash the berries: Add blackberries to a large heavy-bottomed pot. Mash with a potato masher or fork to desired consistency (leave some chunks for texture or mash completely smooth).
  3. Add honey and lemon juice: Pour honey and lemon juice over mashed berries. Add salt if using. Stir until honey is fully incorporated.
  4. Cook the jam: Place pot over medium-high heat and bring to a rolling boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring frequently, for 20-25 minutes until jam thickens and darkens, coating the back of a spoon.
  5. Test for doneness: Place a small plate in the freezer for a few minutes. Drop a teaspoon of jam onto the cold plate. Let sit for 30 seconds, then run your finger through it. If it wrinkles and holds its shape, it’s done. If runny, cook 2-3 more minutes and test again.
  6. Cool and jar: Remove pot from heat and let cool for 10 minutes. Using a funnel, pour jam into clean glass jars, leaving ½ inch headspace. Let jars cool completely to room temperature, then screw on lids.

Notes

Don’t walk away from the pot while the jam is cooking; it can burn quickly. Skim off any foam that rises to the top for a clearer jam. The flavor improves after a day or two in the fridge. For long-term storage, water-bath can the jars for 10 minutes.
