It’s the perfect time of year for blackberries and apples, and they are also ideal partners for this Sukkot-friendly bake. Tip: this jam is delicious, but if you are short on time, you could use ready-made blackberry jam.

Method

Line a 20cm square tin with baking parchment.
Put the apple, blackberries, maple or date syrup, lemon juice and zest, vanilla extract and 20ml water in a medium saucepan.
Bring to the boil, then reduce to medium heat and simmer for 10 minutes, mashing the apple with a fork every so often until soft and most of the liquid has evaporated. Remove and set aside to cool.
