Making a beef roast for supper.
Have Blackberry jam working another 30 min. before I can put it in the jars and process it.
Also going to make oatmeal chocolate chip cookies after I clean up the kitchen.
Still doing laundry.
Not much fun today. Hoping to go shopping tomorrow.

For some of us making oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and cleaning up the kitchen would be far preferable to going shopping. But then, so would a great many other things that do not cause too much physical pain

I got my small batch of blackberry jam done. I needed a caffeine boost so coffee before cleaning up the kitchen.

My small batch of jam called for
5 cups of berries
2 cups of sugar
2 tbsp. Pectin
1 tbsp. Lemon juice

Does anyone know if I can use less lemon juice? My jam taste's like berry lemonade.

You do not need to use lemon juice. It is added to give an acid flavor. Black berry is usually perky enough tasting without it. Blue berry needs it a lot more and raspberry almost never needs it.

Go by taste for the lemon juice.

I bet it tastes and smells great though!
