Slow Cooker Blackberry and Apple Jam – My Attempt
Using just 4 basic everyday ingredients. Including cooking apples, blackberries, granulated sugar and a lemon.
And remembering to put the ingredients into the slow cooker, in the order listed in the recipe.
This is one of the simplest slow cooker recipe, I have done so far!
You do need to be around to stir it once or twice during the cooking time. The book specifies a cooking time of 4 to 5 hours, on the high setting.
Also according to the recipe, the low sugar content means that this jam has a shorter shelf life than usual jam. Good for up to 2 months. And also because of this must be kept in the fridge.
Recipe Review
As this has less sugar than making jam using conventional recipes and methods. It not only keeps for a shorter time. It is also does not have the usual ‘set’ jammy consistency. Instead it is more like a cross between a fruit compote, apple sauce and a jam.
However, it tasted is delicious, quite tart as you’d expect because of the cooking apples. The sugar and the blackberries, added just enough sweetness to make it jam-like.
The method is very easy, and used few ingredients. And the timings where spot-on. However you do need to be around to stir it during the cooking time.
I made this slow cooker apple and blackberry jam in my Morphy Richards 3.5L Slow Cooker.
