Triple Berry Jam (Str/Raz/Blue)

**Use Biringer Strawberry & Raspberry & a few Blueberries from Mountainview Farms **

Ingredients:

  • 5 c. fresh fruit (we used 2 c. Strawberries, 2 c. Raspberries and 1 c. Blueberries)
  • 7 c. Sugar
  • 1 box pectin
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional but delicious!)

Directions:

Mix everything together in a huge, heavy bottom pot. Cook until boiling, reduce to slow simmer (should keep bubbling), cook until reaches a desired thickness (usually 15-20 minutes), ladle into sterilized jars and lids or use pressure canner, cool at room temperature. It technically would stay good for a year or more, but in our house it's usually all gone in a few weeks. Makes 6-8 jars jam.
