A delightful homemade jam made from seasonal fruits, perfect for spreading on toast or mixing with yogurt.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh fruit (e.g., strawberries, blueberries)
  • 1 cup sugar (can substitute with honey or agave)
  • 1–2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 packet pectin (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruit: Wash and chop the fruit into small pieces.
  2. Cook the Fruit: Combine fruit and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat and stir until bubbling, about 5-10 minutes.
  3. Add Lemon Juice: Stir in lemon juice to brighten flavor and aid setting.
  4. Simmer: Lower heat and let simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring frequently.
  5. Test the Consistency: Spoon some jam onto a plate; if it holds shape when cooled, it’s done.
  6. Jar the Jam: Pour into sterilized jars, leaving 1 inch of headspace, and secure lids while warm.
  7. Cool and Store: Allow jars to cool completely, then refrigerate or enjoy.

Notes

Use fruits low in sugar for a healthier jam. Experiment with various fruit combinations for exciting flavors.
