Today's project: Blackberry jam!

3 lbs blackberries
4 cups coconut sugar
3 Tbls lemon juice

Sprinkle berries with 2 Tbls sugar and mix gently. Allow to sit at room temperature 1 hour.

Run berries and their liquid through a food mill to strain out the bulk of the seeds and purée.

Combine berry purée, remaining sugar, and lemon juice in a pot and bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir frequently, boiling gently until it thickens, about 20 min. Test the gelling by dipping a spoon and putting it in the freezer for 2 min. The jam is ready when the spoon's coating runs very slowly down the spoon, but not dripping off.

Store in jars in the fridge or water bath can for 10 min.
