Easy Blackberry 'n Rum Jam (Without Pectin)
This is an adaptation of an online recipe. I never made jam before because I was afraid of pectin and gelatin etc.. THIS IS THE MOST EASIEST THING EVER. The rum (or cognac if you prefer) gives it a nice taste and since the alcohol is boiled off its still kid friendly :D
