Just made blackberry jam using your microwave recipe. It’s fabulous! Just made 1lb for a test, second bigger batch now in microwave. Thank you so much I’m delighted!

Lovely! I don’t own a microwave so just use a saucepan for jam making. I do own a stainless jam funnel though, which is very handy for decanting all sorts of things into glass jars! Just made a batch of blackberry jam with a bit of elderberry the other week - yum! It’s beyond me why anyone would buy tasteless plastic packaged blackberries from a supermarket when you can get the wild ones with all the flavour, and completely free! Our allotment hedge is full of them right now. I adore your book The Garden Jungle, its a must read and should be made compulsory reading for everyone! ❤️🐝

I was going to recommend a funnel too, so much easier and much less mess :) I've never seen this done in a microwave before! I think I'll still prefer stove top so I can watch and smell the jam as it cooks, but this makes it accessible to more folks.

My beautiful blackbird was murdered ( right outside my bedroom window) last month, so I will have to use the brambles myself ! Jam will make a nice change from bramble whisky - thanks for the recipe - have not tried microwave jam before.

Well that's different - maybe try it next time 👍 I just use the microwave to sterilize the jars & boil up on the hob, we prefer jelly & sieve the seeds out before adding the sugar (you can use less sugar (75%) before it gets too runny).

Humans can digest maggots, they're actually healthy. It's when they're growing in decaying meat that illness comes from. So yeah it's gross but won't harm ya. I'll always be prone to pick and eating I can't help myself lol

Extra protein 🤷🏽 otherwise a good minute rinse with cool water is fine too remove most insects. Though, you can also soak them in a slightly salty water/brine as mentioned above. Generally speaking, blackberries won't have parasites 🪱 Strawberries and blueberries can though 🫡 (Leaving this here for someone who might need it, even though I'm very late to this party xD)
