Step 1
Wash the fresh berries thoroughly and pat them dry.
Step 2
Place the berries into a quart-sized zip-top bag.
Step 3
Add the granulated sugar and lemon juice to the bag.
Step 4
Seal the bag, ensuring there is as little air as possible inside.
Step 5
Using your hands, gently mash the berries through the bag. Continue mashing and mixing until the berries are broken down and the ingredients are combined into a jam-like consistency.
Step 6
Once the jam reaches your desired texture, open the bag and taste. Add a small pinch of sugar if needed to adjust sweetness.

Serve the jam immediately on bread, crackers, or as a topping for yogurt. Alternatively, transfer it to a small container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
