Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Fresh fieldberries (raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, etc.)
- 2.5 cups Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 pouch Certo Light liquid pectin
Instructions
Wash and measure 4 cups of fresh fieldberries. If larger berries are used (like blackberries or strawberries), lightly crush them with a potato masher before measuring.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the berries, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir until the sugar is well dissolved. Let this mixture sit for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
After 10 minutes, open the pouch of Certo Light liquid pectin. Add it to the berry mixture and stir vigorously for 3 minutes to ensure it is well distributed.
Immediately spoon the jam into clean, freezer-safe containers, leaving about 1/2 inch of space at the top to allow for expansion during freezing.
Seal the containers tightly with lids. Let the jam sit at room temperature for 24 hours to set properly.
Store the jam in the freezer for up to 1 year. Once opened, keep it in the refrigerator and use within 3 weeks.
