Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 cups fruit, (roughly chopped)
  • 1 whole lemon, (juiced)
  • 1/2 cup sugar

Instruction

  • Toss all ingredients in a medium-sized, deep sauce pan and turn the heat to medium until the mixture begins to bubble.  Then, reduce the heat to simmer and stir.
  • Allow mixture to cook and the fruit/berries to naturally break down.  Be sure to stir every 20 minutes or so, even more frequently when the jam begins to thicken.
  • When the jam has reached the consistency you desire, carefully pour hot jam into clean and sterile mason jars.
  • Being sure the rim of the jar is clean and jam-free, wipe the lid with a damp cloth, place on the seal and tighten the lid until a slight resistance is met.
  • Carefully place the jar on a kitchen towel where the jar will not be disturbed for twelve hours.
  • Once the jam begins to cool, the seal will create a popping sound, assuring you that the jar is sealed.
  • Refrigerate for immediate use or store in a cool dry place for up to six months.
