Ingredients

• 250 grams Strawberries
• 250 grams Raspberries
• 250 grams Blueberries
• 500 grams Granulated Sugar
• 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
• 1 teaspoon Pectin (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Gently wash and hull the strawberries. Cut them into quarters.

Step 2

In a large pot, combine the strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries.

Step 3

Add the granulated sugar to the pot and mix well until all the fruit is coated.

Step 4

Let the mixture sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to allow the fruit to macerate and release some of its juices.

Step 5

Place the pot over medium heat and stir constantly until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture begins to boil.

Step 6

Add the lemon juice to the pot, stirring well to incorporate.

Step 7

If using pectin, sprinkle it over the mixture and stir thoroughly to combine.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Remove the pot from heat and let the mixture cool for a few minutes.

Step 11

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.

Step 12

Allow the jars to cool at room temperature. Once cooled, store in the refrigerator or process jars in a water bath for longer storage.
