Spiced Blackberry Jam is a delicious and easy-to-make jam that can be enjoyed with bread, pancakes, or waffles for breakfast, or as a sweet topping for desserts. The natural tanginess of blackberries combined with spices like cinnamon and lemon zest makes this jam flavorful and aromatic, perfect for warming up on a cold morning. However, it should be consumed in moderation due to its sugar content. It is a great way to add a touch of sweetness and flavor to your breakfast, especially as it contains no preservatives or additives.

Instructions

1.	In a large pot, combine the blackberries, lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon, lemon zest, and cinnamon stick.
2.	Heat the mixture over medium-high heat until it comes to a boil.
3.	Reduce the heat to low and let the jam simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4.	Place a small spoonful of the jam on a plate and chill it in the fridge for a few minutes. If it sets and thickens, the jam is ready.
5.	Remove the cinnamon stick and pour the jam into sterilized jars.
6.	Store the jam in the fridge for up to 2 months.
