Titli's Tips
If you don't have a candy thermometer you can check if it will set by putting a teaspoon of the blackberry jam on a cold plate and leaving for 1 minute. If it doesn't flow after that time then it is ready to put into jars. If it does flow simply continue boiling for another 5 minutes and check again.
