Instructions

In a medium pan, cook the berries, sugar, and lemon juice on medium heat for approximately 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

The jam is ready when the consistency of the jam is like a thick maple syrup or the temperature reaches 220 degrees F.

Perfect texture.


Makes an amazing PB & J....

I love this simple pectin-free jam.  After cooking for 20 minutes, allow to cool to room temperature (if refrigerating).  It will continue to thicken.  If you are canning: pour into a hot, sterile glass mason jars leaving 1/2 inch head space.  Skim any foam off the top of the jam before sealing. Seal and process in a hot water bath for 15 minutes to seal lids and store.  You can also refrigerate and use within two weeks.   In our house, it never lasts that long!  Delicious~
