Instant Pot Blackberry Jam. I love recipes that have all natural ingredients, with no chemicals, additives or preservatives. For this reason, I like to make my own jam, sun dried tomatoes and fruits, and try to buy organic whenever possible. Honestly, making jam in the Instant Pot is so, so easy, only requires 4 ingredients and cooks for 2 minutes! Do you have fresh blackberries, maple syrup, lemon juice and flax meal in the house? That is all you need--the result is delicious, fresh, tasty and easy.

Homemade jam doesn't taste at all like jam from a jar! You can use this jam on a variety of breads and crackers, but I found that it is perfect on No Knead Bread from @pinchofyum. I have modified the recipe to make it gluten free, and seriously, this fresh bread and fresh homemade jam--well that is a match made in heaven. Vegan, gluten free and dairy free.

Instructions For Blackberry Jam

It couldn't be easier. Toss all of the ingredients into an Instant Pot safe bowl and stir. Add 1 cup of water to the IP inner pot, and place the bowl on the trivet and then inside the IP. Set the timer for 2 minutes high pressure, and let the steam naturally release.

After the berries are cooked, blend your jam with a hand blender until it is the consistency that you like--smooth or with berry bites.

Tip For Making Homemade Jam in the Instant Pot:

This blackberry jam was so easy and turned out so well, that I wanted to make several other variations with other fruits. Do not try this recipe with strawberries:( Strawberries have a higher water content, so the jam, using the exact same recipe, was too watery and not thick enough to call jam. No worries though. Now, although we don't have fresh strawberry jam, we have a strawberry base to use in smoothies, and it is yummy. So, if you are trying other fruits, choose fruits with low water content.
Because this jam has no preservatives, I don't make more than 16 oz at a time. It your family is small, maybe ½ of the recipe.
