ScrubbieLady Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I am getting ready to make raspberry jam and have just measured. I am short one cup of raspberries. Thinking of just using a cup of blackberries to substitute. Do you think it would make a large difference in the taste? I know it would be made the same. Quote Link to comment
Mt_Rider Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 So....did you add the blackberries? You might find the slight difference in taste pleasing. I know folks are mixing different berries like that in pies. MtRider Quote Link to comment
Suncat Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I would do it. I often use some apple sauce to fill in a batch. Just did it with apricot and you can't tell. But the blackberries with raspberries would be good. Quote Link to comment
The WE2's Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I've used them both in bowl type desserts with whip cream on top etc., and I'm thinking they'd be very tasty and colorful indeed! Quote Link to comment
ScrubbieLady Posted September 10, 2016 Author Share Posted September 10, 2016 Well, I made the jam but have not tasted it, yet. It looks pretty just not as red as straight raspberry jam. The last batch of raspberry jam disappeared fast because we had company. At one setting, three men wiped out a third of a pint of the jam. Then they snacked out. I sent small jars home with each of them. Actually, I make a tri-berry jelly that turns out well. Raspberries, Blackberries and Elderberries. Started out because I didn't get enough of any of them to make a batch. Quote Link to comment
