I made this with just blackberries. It turned out well in spite of me being new to jam making and not quite getting the setting point right, went over a bit, so mine is very thick jam, but tastes great. I'm planning to try it as written with the elderberries next time. Really simple recipe to follow.

This is the second year I have made this jam, love the simplicity and the fact most of the ingredients are free, I use a plate in the freezer to check for the setting point, doesn't take long, really recommend this recipe, I make them for Christmas pressies.

Just made this for the first time, but I'll definately be making it again. Absolutely gorgeous! I didn't have the quantities in the recipe, so I just measured the juice and divided the weight of sugar accordingly.

I made this yesterday as managed to gather more wild blackberries & decided that the elderberries nearby were too good to miss too! Having never used elderberries before I thought the fact that it was seedless would be a good introduction to this fruit. It came out perfectly and I will definitely make it again, although I have to say the sieving part was no fun at all (but very worth it) Ha Ha! My 14 year old son declared that it tastes amazing (high praise indeed from a teenager) I have no hesitation in giving this recipe 5* thanks to the person who posted it

A simple method to make strawberry jam free of calorie sugar.

Made this though for some reason I don't think I used jam sugar. However, it didn't set properly so it was more a sauce than a jam but the kids love it, so that's all that matters

This was a great recipe: We didn't have that many elderberries, so I changed the ratio to favour the blackberries. I also added a couple of tablespoons of vanilla bean paste right at the end, which gives a lovely mellow vanilla aftertaste to the jam. A winner!

Amazing recipe. Have made both with the elderberries and without (just blackberries). Used a sugar thermometer to ensure I reached the crucial 104 c . Now on third batch as everyone loves it so much .thanks so much.
