Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries)
- 120 ml Apple juice
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1.5 tablespoons Pectin
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
Instructions
Start by rinsing the mixed berries under cold water. Hull the strawberries if using, and cut any larger berries into smaller pieces to ensure even cooking.
Place the berries into a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the apple juice and lemon juice to the berries.
Stir occasionally as the berries start to break down. Use a potato masher or fork to gently mash the berries for a smoother texture, if desired.
Once the mixture starts to simmer, reduce the heat to low and add the pectin. Stir well to incorporate.
Continue to simmer the berry mixture for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
After the initial simmering period, add the granulated sugar and stir until dissolved. Increase the heat slightly, letting the mixture return to a soft boil.
Boil the mixture for an additional 10 minutes or until it thickens to your desired consistency.
To check if the confiture is set, place a small spoonful on a cold plate. If it holds its shape after a minute, it is ready. If not, continue to boil for a few more minutes.
Once ready, remove from heat and let cool slightly before transferring to sterilized jars. Seal immediately and let cool completely.
Store the confiture in the refrigerator for up to four weeks, and enjoy your low-fat mixed berry confiture on toast, scones, or as a topping for yogurt or desserts.
