Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (300g) frozen mixed berries
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar

Instructions:

  1. Combine the frozen mixed berries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice in your saucepan.
  2. Stir the mixture over medium heat until the fruit releases its juices and the sugar dissolves into a glossy syrup.
  3. Increase the heat to medium high and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Note: A rolling boil is one that doesn't stop bubbling when you stir it.
  4. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently until the liquid reduces by about a third and the jam coats the back of a spoon.
  5. Perform the plate test: drop a small spoonful of jam onto your chilled plate.
  6. Place the plate in the freezer for 1 minute.
  7. Push the jam with your finger; if it wrinkles and holds its shape, it's done.
  8. Remove from heat immediately and transfer the jam to a glass jar.
