Ingredients
- 4 cups Frozen mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries)
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Powdered pectin
- 1 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
Place the frozen mixed berries in a large saucepan and pour in the water.
Step 2
Heat the saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries release their juices and soften (about 5 minutes).
Step 3
Using a potato masher or the back of a spoon, mash the berries until your desired consistency is achieved. For a smoother jam, blend with an immersion blender.
Step 4
Add the granulated sugar, lemon juice, and powdered pectin to the mashed berries. Stir well to combine.
Step 5
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and continue to cook for an additional 10–12 minutes, stirring frequently, until the jam thickens. To test doneness, scoop a small amount of jam onto a chilled plate; if it gels and doesn’t run, it’s ready.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the jam to cool for 5 minutes, skimming off any foam with a spoon if necessary.
Step 8
Ladle the jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace. Seal with clean lids and bands.
Step 9
Let the jars cool to room temperature before storing in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or processing in a boiling water bath for long-term storage.
