I had been getting a request from my daughter about making jam during the berry picking season. It turns out the berries got eaten before I got a chance. I did decide to use some of my frozen fruit and attempt to make jam and guess what- it worked and was incredibly easy! So, don't be scared, give it a try. I choose a blend of blueberries, raspberries, cherries, blackberries and strawberries. It was eaten so quickly that I put it into a mason jar and kept it in the fridge so I didn't go through the canning process. I haven't tried switching the pectin for a starch yet, but that is something I will be trying in the future.
21/2 cups Fruit, fresh or frozen
3/4 cup Sugar (or less depending on how sweet you want it)
1 Tbsp Pectin
1. Place fruit in a medium pot on the stove and bring to a gentle boil.
2. Sprinkle pectin on top and stir in sugar. Bring back to a boil.
3. Add to bread machine and cook for about 1.5 hours.*
4. Take out of bread machine and put into mason jars to cool.
5. Let sit for about 45 minutes before storing in the fridge.
*I use the rapid bread setting. If you have a jam setting use that.
