WOW! I have so much fresh basil out in my garden I thought what a lovely way to use the basil. It was so easy to make and I love the flavor of basil and blackberries.

This is absolutely delicious. I've made it twice and the fruit juices and basil mix together really well. It will last a lot longer than 3 days in the refrigerator. I love basil but I cut down on the basil a little bit as it can be too much. I also cut back on the sugar a little bit because I think the whole 2/3 of a cup plus the sugars from the lemon & orange juice make it a bit too sugary. This is a great recipe!

This was delicious. Lots of basil flavor and it lasted much longer than expected in the refrigerator. Perfect on a bagel or toast. Bought a container of creamy cheese (can't remember the specific name!, scooped out a big spoonful of the cheese and re-filled the hole with the jam. Served it with crackers and it was a huge hit with friends.

The mixture didn't thicken for me, so I improvised and made ice pops! OMG....soooooo delicious!!! I LOVED the interesting flavor combination....will definitely make it again. It would also make a great sauce for venison or pork! Thanks Giada!

I am usually not a fan of Jam, but Giada made this look so good I had to try. It has an interesting flavor, but don't think I would probably make again.

The taste of this jam is so complex and yummy! Used fresh sweet basil from my garden, frozen blackberries from Whole Foods and followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great!

I copied the recipe while watching the show and made it from that. I really like the taste combination and besides being good on bread, english muffins, it was also good on chicken. There are a lot of seeds tho..so I agree with the person who said to use a food mill to get rid of them. I'm always looking for easy things to make as giveaways for birthdays and christmas! This would make a nice basket with a loaf of homemade english muffin bread.

I used Strawberries in place, since my girlfriend isn't a big fan of blackberries. I substituted the lemon juice with balsamic vinegar and the orange juice with Grand Marnier. It smells awesome right now. If you do use fresh fruit, you should put about 1/8 to 1/4 Cup of sugar on it and strain into a bowl to get the juice out, just as a tip. I can't wait to try it on some homemade ciabatta with some mascarpone. Mmm...and now the wait....

I'm a little confused about this being called a jam. When I make jam I usually add Certo or some other brand of stabilizer...enlighten me...thanks. Would this not be called something else?
