It was unusual to find so many blackberries as its only July. Mum told me,"Why are there few elderberries?"
I didn't know. Then she said, "Because we've been picking all the elder flowers for our cordial!"( Which is below in our blog) There was about 4 or 5 elder berry bunches. The Secret ingredient is... is... not to be revealed until the world jampionships!
My recipe:
450g of Secret Ingredients
450g of blackberries
900g of sugar
Juice of 1 lemon
100ml of water
1. Cook the blackberries and the secret Ingredients in 100ml of water and lemon juice.

Top Tips:
1. Be kind and give some to someone special.
2. To check if the jam is set, get some out with a teaspoon. and put in dots on a cold plate that has been in the fridge .Put the plate back in the fridge for 2 min. Push a jam dot with your finger. If it wrinkles it is set.
