Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh strawberries
- 1 cup Fresh blueberries
- 1 cup Fresh raspberries
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons No-sodium pectin
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
Begin by washing the strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries thoroughly under cold water and draining well.
Hull the strawberries and cut them into quarters.
In a large saucepan, combine the strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries.
Use a potato masher to crush the berries until they're mostly smooth with a few chunks remaining.
Add the granulated sugar, lemon juice, and water to the mashed berries in the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and sprinkle the no-sodium pectin evenly over the top while stirring continuously.
Continue to cook the jam mixture, stirring frequently, for approximately 10-15 minutes, until the jam has thickened to your desired consistency. To test the consistency, place a small spoonful of jam on a cold plate and let it sit for a minute. Run your finger through the jam; if it wrinkles and maintains a path, it's ready.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the jam cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
Carefully ladle the jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace. Seal the jars with lids.
Allow the jam to cool to room temperature before storing it in the refrigerator.
Enjoy your low sodium mixed berry jam within 3 weeks for optimal freshness.
