chewy jam!

mmmm, not sure if anyone will be able to help but thought I'd ask the question,

i have a jar of homemade jam which is more like toffee, well it was my first attempt    now it's too hard to put on toast, so i'm just wondering if any of you lovely people know of any recipes that need blackberry tarmac     or shall I just bin it 

it was pretty spur of the moment stuff, a guy at the allotment came over to us Sunday night and said help yourself to all the blackberries and before you know it we had tons of them!  So thought I'd have a go at jam, pretty basic recipe, half of sugar to the amount of fruit - simples    Oh well, might have to put some jam-making equipment on the crimbo list - quite enjoyed myself making it although I was surpised i only got one jar out of the amount that was in the pan 

Spoon some out into a cup or bowl , add a little hot water to soften it a bit , give it a stir and use as a sauce for ice cream.  Press it though a sieve if its hard to get smooth.   
I love over cooked jam on ice cream

The important thing is not to give up, try another batch but do remember to test to see if it will set every couple of minutes after the initial period of boiling. I'm having great success with the microve wave method but it only works for small quantities.
