Mixed Berry Jam

Ingredients

• ●1.4 kg (5 cups) mixed berries (any combination of raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, strawberries)
• ●60 ml (¼ cup) fresh lemon juice
• ●1 package (49 g) powdered pectin
• ●800 g (4 cups) sugar

Method

1. Crush the berries in a large pot. If using strawberries, hull and chop them first. Blackberry and raspberry seeds are a personal preference — leave them in or strain half the mixture through a sieve.
2. Add the lemon juice and pectin. Bring to a rolling boil, stirring constantly.
3. Add the sugar all at once. Return to a rolling boil and boil 1 minute, stirring constantly.
4. Remove from heat, skim foam, and ladle into hot jars with ½ inch headspace.
5. Process in a water bath for 10 minutes.
6. *Storage:** Sealed jars for up to 1 year.
