How do you know when jam is ready with a thermometer?

If you are using a jam thermometer, then you can test it once the temperature reaches 105 degrees. To test the jam for its setting point, remove the saucepan from the heat and spoon a little jam onto a cold refrigerated plate and leave for a few seconds – it should wrinkle softly when you push your finger through it.

Follow this simple 6-step blackberry jam recipe for a delicious fruit preserve that makes for the perfect piece de resistance at breakfast time!

Step 1

Put the blackberries, lemon zest and lemon juice into a large saucepan and cook over a low heat. Stir gently until the blackberries are soft and plenty of juice has been released.

TOP TIP

Unopened, this jam should be keep in a cool, dark place for up to least 6 months.

Step 2

Press gently with a masher to release even more juice and break up some of the fruit, but don’t reduce all the blackberries to pulp.

TOP TIP

Once opened, be sure to store your blackberry jam in the fridge.

Step 3

Put a couple of small plates in the freezer ready for testing the setting of the jam.

TOP TIP

Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar in this recipe to suit your preferences, just remember that this will affect how your jam sets and how long it takes to get to its setting point.

Step 4

Add the Tate & Lyle Jam Sugar then stir gently until it dissolves completely. This is important to prevent the jam from crystallising during storage.

Step 5

Meanwhile, sterilize 7 x 200ml jars by washing them in hot soapy water, rinsing well, then place them in a low oven at 150°C/Fan 130°C/Gas Mark 2 for 15 minutes.

Step 6

Increase the heat steadily to a rolling boil. After 10 minutes you can test to see if the setting point is ready.

TOP TIP

Key initiatives funded by our Fairtrade Premium have included a programme focused on female empowerment by The Progressive Sugarcane Producers Association. This pilot project engaged women across four communities in Belize, providing them with essential skills in financial literacy, economic opportunities, and hands-on training. 

These women, including Elsa Perez, learned to manage their sugarcane revenues, explore small business entrepreneurship, and diversify their income sources.

Perfect for cosying up on chilly days, our creamy caramel latte is really easy to make, with a splash of our Barista Collection caramel syrup. Here’s how…

120ml Semi-skimmed milk
100ml Freshly brewed coffee
15ml Tate & Lyle caramel coffee syrup
5ml Tate & Lyle demerara sugar (optional)

Heat the milk and syrup in a small pan till frothy.
Turn down the heat, stirring in the coffee (and sugar if you like).
Pour and enjoy.

☕️ Our syrups are all vegan, so if you switch up your milk, your latte can be too.

30ml Hot Cafédirect Mayan Gold coffee
15ml Espresso coffee liqueur
7.5ml Hazelnut liqueur

Research shows that in Central American countries, like Belize where most of our Fairtrade sugar is grown, women typically earn a third less than men, and less than half of women are part of the workforce (compared to 78% in the UK). 

Since 2008, Tate & Lyle's Fairtrade licensed sales in the UK have contributed an estimated £32 million in Fairtrade Premium. Initiatives funded by the brand’s Fairtrade Premium have included a programme focused on female empowerment by The Progressive Sugarcane Producers Association.
