Ingredients

• 2 cups Fruit juice (fresh or store-bought, unsweetened preferred)
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons Liquid pectin
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (optional, for added tartness)

Directions

Step 1

Pour the fruit juice into a medium-sized heavy-bottomed saucepan.

Step 2

Add the granulated sugar to the saucepan and stir well to combine.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently to prevent the sugar from burning.

Step 4

Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Continue stirring occasionally.

Step 5

After the mixture has thickened slightly, stir in the liquid pectin and lemon juice (if using).

Step 6

Increase the heat slightly and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Boil for 1-2 minutes while stirring constantly.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool for 5 minutes, skimming any foam off the surface with a spoon.

Step 8

Carefully pour the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of space at the top. Seal the jars tightly with lids.

Step 9

Allow the jam to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours to set completely.

Step 10

Serve your homemade fruit juice jam on toast, pancakes, or use as a filling for desserts. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or freeze for longer storage.
