Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 package (1.75 oz) fruit pectin
Instructions
- Wash and prepare your mixed berries by removing stems and hulling strawberries. Cut larger berries into smaller pieces.
- In a large pot, combine the berries, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir gently until coated.
- Sprinkle pectin over the mixture and stir well to avoid clumps. Let sit for 10 minutes to allow juices to flow.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until it reaches a rolling boil. Boil for about 10 minutes until thickened.
- Test readiness by placing a spoonful on a chilled plate; if it holds shape when pushed, it's ready to jar.
- Ladle hot jam into sterilized jars, seal tightly, and cool before storing in the refrigerator.
