If you do not enjoy the seeds in blackberry pie, then try removing them with a sieve. A mesh sieve will catch most of the seeds, and allow the rest of the pulp to pass through. The sieve removes most of the blackberry seeds, and leaves behind the delicious juice and pulp of the blackberries. Remove seeds from blackberries for any blackberry desserts, jams or jellies to remove the gritty texture the seeds leave behind.
Wash the blackberries to remove dirt and debris. Place the blackberries in a large mixing bowl.
Mash the blackberries with a potato masher. Do this gently to prevent the juice and berries from spraying out of the bowl. Only mash a small amount of berries at a time. If you prefer, you can puree the blackberries in a food processor.
Push the puree through the sieve with a wooden spoon. Only add a small quantity of blackberries at a time. Rinse the sieve out after each batch of blackberry pulp to remove the caught seeds.
Use only ripe blackberries. Do not use blackberries that still contain any red pigment. Store leftover blackberry pulp in an airtight container and place it in the freezer for your next pie. When picking fresh blackberries, handle them carefully to reduce squeezing out the juices. It only takes a slight tug to remove ripe berries from their stems You may find inexpensive blackberries at a farmers market.
A sieve will not remove all of the seeds. Smaller blackberry seeds will be able to pass through the wire mesh, but it will remove most of the seeds.

I don’t really eat a lot of jam, but I had a request to make this and ended up really enjoying it on an English Muffin this morning. I put a bit of Greek yogurt on as well, but cream cheese or crème fraîche would be wonderful with it too.
Last night I finished making a batch of blackberry jam, with berries picked from a secret spot. It’s actually one of those places where you wonder if you’re going to trip over a body . . . but . . . free blackberries!
I love delicious food, and bonus if its healthy! Im always searching for new recipes, mostly healthy, but sometimes a bit more decadent. I love soups and other recipes that provide a well-balanced meal (and leftovers!). Please let me know in the comments if you try any of the TrustInKim recipes, or if you have any thoughts to share. Enjoy!
It takes a bit of work to get the seeds out of the jam, but I think it is a worthwhile job so you don’t bite down on the hard seeds. I found it easier to get the seeds out when the berries had cooked down a bit.
After removing the seeds, the rest of the process is quite simple. You will need some jars, and if you plan to store the jam in a cupboard you will need the proper lids etc. For freezer jam you can use any kind of jar. I used a thermometer to check the temperature, but you can use this guide to help figure out when it is done if you don’t have thermometer.

The “sacrificial” juice blackberries still have plenty of flavor, which means they can be reused in other cooking.
