What it is
This is a sweet spread made from ripe blackberries. The fruit is cooked down with sugar until it thickens into a jam-like consistency. It is processed to remove the seeds, offering a smoother texture. This preserve is a popular condiment for breakfast foods and desserts. It is packaged in a glass jar for freshness.

Open the jar and use a clean spoon to scoop out the desired amount. It can be spread directly onto baked goods or breakfast items.
