Instructions

  1. 1 Inspect 8 half-pint jars for cracks and rings for rust; discard any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until jam is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
  2. 2 Toast the almonds in an ungreased skillet until lightly colored, 3 to 5 minutes. Set aside.
  3. 3 Place crushed blueberries and blackberries in a large pot and add pectin. Slowly bring to a full rolling boil. Add sugar and lemon juice and stir to dissolve. Return to a full rolling boil for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly. Skim off any foam with a ladle or a large spoon.
  4. 4 Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in gin and toasted almonds.
  5. 5 Ladle jam immediately into the prepared jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any spills. Top with lids and tightly screw on rings.
  6. 6 Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes.
  7. 7 Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart. Let rest for 24 hours without moving the jars. Gently press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.

Instructions

  1. 1 Place almonds and confectioners' sugar in the bowl of a food processor; process to a meal-like consistency, scraping down the sides and over the bottom of the bowl as needed. Don't overprocess it; at this point, the mixture should still be crumbly, not paste-like.
  2. 2 Add beaten egg white and almond extract; process until it lumps together. If it remains crumbly, add more egg white, a few drops at a time.
  3. 3 Use a silicone spatula to remove almond paste from the food processor. If not using right away, wrap almond paste in waxed paper and store in an airtight container to use within a few hours. Or, place wrapped almond paste in a freezer bag and freeze for up to 6 months.
