Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Wash the fresh berries thoroughly and pat them dry.
Place the berries into a quart-sized zip-top bag.
Add the granulated sugar and lemon juice to the bag.
Seal the bag, ensuring there is as little air as possible inside.
Using your hands, gently mash the berries through the bag. Continue mashing and mixing until the berries are broken down and the ingredients are combined into a jam-like consistency.
Once the jam reaches your desired texture, open the bag and taste. Add a small pinch of sugar if needed to adjust sweetness.
Serve the jam immediately on bread, crackers, or as a topping for yogurt. Alternatively, transfer it to a small container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
