Gently wash and hull the strawberries. Cut them into quarters.
In a large pot, combine the strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries.
Add the granulated sugar to the pot and mix well until all the fruit is coated.
Let the mixture sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to allow the fruit to macerate and release some of its juices.
Place the pot over medium heat and stir constantly until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture begins to boil.
Add the lemon juice to the pot, stirring well to incorporate.
If using pectin, sprinkle it over the mixture and stir thoroughly to combine.
Continue to cook the mixture at a steady boil for about 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently. Use a spoon to skim any foam that forms on the surface.
To check for doneness, place a small plate in the freezer for a few minutes. Drop a spoonful of the confituur on the chilled plate. If it wrinkles when nudged, it's ready.
Remove the pot from heat and let the mixture cool for a few minutes.
Carefully ladle the hot confituur into sterilized jars, leaving about 1 cm of headspace at the top. Wipe the rims with a clean cloth and seal tightly with lids.
Allow the jars to cool at room temperature. Once cooled, store in the refrigerator or process jars in a water bath for longer storage.
