Wash the strawberries, blueberries, and peaches thoroughly. Hull the strawberries, peel and pit the peaches, and chop into small cubes.
In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the strawberries, blueberries, peaches, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir continuously until the sugar dissolves, and the fruit begins to release its juices, about 5–7 minutes.
Increase the heat slightly and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and allow the mixture to simmer, stirring frequently, for about 25–30 minutes or until the mixture thickens. Skim off any foam that forms on top as the mixture simmers.
To check if the jam has reached the proper consistency, place a small plate in the freezer for 5 minutes. Drop a teaspoon of jam onto the cold plate. If it wrinkles when pushed with your finger, it’s ready. If not, continue cooking for a few more minutes and test again.
Once the jam reaches the desired thickness, remove it from the heat and let it cool for 5–10 minutes.
Using a ladle, carefully transfer the hot jam into sterilized glass jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top. Wipe the jar rims clean, seal with lids, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes if preserving for long-term storage.
Allow the jars to cool completely before labeling and storing. The Triple Fruit Jam will keep for up to 1 year if properly sealed, or up to 3 weeks in the refrigerator if unsealed.
