Description
A sweet and versatile mixed berry jam made from fresh strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries, perfect for breakfast or desserts.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tbsp pectin (optional)
Instructions
- Rinse the mixed berries under cold water, remove stems, and chop strawberries.
- Combine the berries with the granulated sugar and lemon juice in a large pot; let sit for 10 minutes.
- Heat the mixture over medium heat and stir occasionally until it reaches a gentle boil.
- If using pectin, add it according to package instructions after reaching a boil.
- Test the jam’s readiness by dropping a spoonful on a cold plate; it should hold its shape.

Notes
For the best flavor, use fresh berries and avoid overripened fruit. Allow the jam to cool completely before sealing jars to prevent moisture problems.
