Blackberry Fools

Although this dessert is best made immediately before serving, it can be assembled before dinner and refrigerated for up to one hour. If possible, use seedless jam, which won't require the straining in the first step.

    This was a little too sweet for my tastes. The next time I make it I'll probably reduce the amount of preserves.
