That might make it through mint julep season
Port really brought out the richness of the berries in this jam. I like blackberry jam really chunky. If you prefer it smoother, mash the berries as they cook. For how to can jam go here.
Blackberry Jam with Port
- 10 cups blackberries, roughly quartered
- 1 cup port
- 3 cups sugar
In a large stock pot add berries, port and sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook stirring constantly for 30 minutes. Can immediately. Works great in blackberry mint juleps too.

I like the addition of port to the jam!
I love port! I use heaps of it in cooking all the time. I’ve never made blackberry jam with port though. This is new but I love it. Can’t wait for jam making time.
Pretty jars.
I’m headed to the farmers market in the morning to get blackberries for this jam. I just hope I don’t sleep the day away because I’m just now getting in!
Adding port to blackberry jam. Who’da thunk? Better still, you only use 3 cups of sugar. This must taste great!
With port – too clever!

I like the sound of port with black berries.
Port and ripe fruit…a great taste for sure.
I made some jelly with merlot wine right before Christmas and it’s my favorite jelly I’ve ever made …. ever. I’m saving this recipe. Gotta try it.
Blackberry jam is one of summer’s best. I await our local blackberries to try out your easy recipe. Thanks.
Sounds perfect for my morning croissant . . . if I had a croissant.
Excellent idea!
Wait – you’ve got BLACKBERRIES already?
Holy Cow, mine are still blooming…
I don’t even remember my Grams having them this early in the year, up in Salem (20 minutes from Ash Flat, the way Dad drives)… Sure could go for some of her cobbler now.
We’ve even had peaches for a bit. Still haven’t gotten any yet. First ones usually aren’t great!
You had me at port! This looks decadent and will be on my list of jams to prepare with all my wild NW blackberries this summer.
Now I have a reason to buy a bottle of port. BTW, saw an interesting recipe for blackberry curd, if you still have more blackberries to pick.
That sounds like an excuse to buy more!
Love port – out of curiosity, what kind did you use? This jam looks amazing!
Oh wow, can’t remember. Probably Taylor’s. When it comes to cooking with port, we go cheap.
Okay, that’s what I was hoping you’d say 🙂
Want. Want want want.
Sounds fantastic, I add port to my plum jam. , If only we could get that many berries cheaply!
Mmm. I bet the port is a great addition. Very jealous of your many jars.
Two great tastes that (I’m sure) go great together. Sounds delicious.
Very fresh Jam for the healthy breakfast or anything for that matter.
Ooh that sounds so good !
I’ll take chunky jam too – especially when it’s blackberries. Yum!
Gorgeous – it´s not blackberry time here for a while yet, but I can´t wait!
Well this sounds fantastic. Love blackberries and I can imagine how well the port complements in the jam. Yummmmmmmmmmm —-
I can imagine how the port brings out the blackberries. Sounds wonderful.
I wasn’t very successful at my first try with blackberry jam…maybe this would turn out better!
Port Jam? Amazing!!!!!
i will just email you my address. I need a dozen jars please? LOL!
chunky jam is the only way surely
This is just plain genius! Must bookmark until our blackberry season. 🙂
WOW – what a great combo – looks so pretty too!
