blackberry jam

Dark berry preserve

Blackberry jam is a sweet spread made by cooking blackberries with sugar until thickened.

Like other fruit jams, it's used on toast, biscuits, and pastries, or as a filling in baked goods: She spread blackberry jam on her morning toast.

The dark purple color and seedy texture distinguish it from smoother jellies.
