Big Hat Bushjam - make it before the blackberries disappear. At Big Hat Bushcamp we believe that ‘roughing it’ is non-sensical when there are so many ways to be comfortable and well fed outdoors. Here’s the first of our very easy and almost foolproof campfire recipes (that can also be recreated in a kitchen). Pick blackberries, wash in a colander and rinse with boiling water. Weigh (eyeball if you need to - it’s the Big Hat way) blackberries and make up an equal weight of very strong blackcurrant squash. Boil up and stir squash with an equal weight of jam sugar. Boil for ten minutes and add blackberries. Boil for a further ten minutes. Carefully add to sterilised jars and leave to set overnight. This method of jam-making is not only very easy, but leaves the berries intact for a great texture - you’ll see in the morning why it’s sometimes called bush caviar. Good on oatcakes, great on campfire bread. Enjoy.
