Old-Fashioned Blackberry Jelly


Fresh blackberry jelly is a seasonal delight around here since we have 40+ blackberry bushes that explode with fruit for about 4 weeks in the spring.

I usually stay inside washing and canning juice and jelly while my husband is out harvesting all the blackberries. It's a wonderful experience that I look forward to every year!

This blackberry jelly is made without any added pectin and can be customized to your sugar preferences.

You can make this blackberry jelly with fresh or frozen blackberries. It's perfect for canning or enjoying fresh!

Our favorite way to eat this blackberry jelly is on warm homemade biscuits or freshly baked bread!
