20-Minute Berry Jam
Report
Use any mixture of berries to make this jam without any pectin. Adding lemon juice to the jam prevents botulism and is required if canning.

Ingredients
- 6 cups berries such as strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and blueberries (roughly slice the strawberries to help them break down)
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 tablespoons bottle lemon juice
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, add the berries, sugar and lemon juice. Gently stir the berry mixture and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to a soft boil on medium heat and cook, uncovered, stirring frequently, for about 20 minutes or until the jam has thickened.
- To test the thickness of the jam, at the start of cooking time place a few spoons or ceramic ramekins in the freezer for 10 minutes. Take out one spoon or ramekin and add a dollop of jam to the back of the spoon or ramekin. If it mostly sets, you're ready to go. If it's too runny, cook and tests in 5 minute increments until the jam sets on the spoon. If the jam is not set, continue to cook for 5 minute increments.
- Spread on toast or sandwiches once cooled, or transfer jam to a glass jar with a fitted lid and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- Instructions to preserve the jam:
- Sterilize 4 half-pint jars and their lids. Ladle hot jam into the jars leaving about ¼ inch between the rim and lid. Remove any air bubbles and wipe the rims clean. Seal tightly with the lids.
- Process the jars in a boiling-water bath for 10 minutes. The sealed jars can be stored in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year. If a jar fails to seal, store the jam in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. Makes 32 ounces of jam to fit 4 half-pint jars (8-ounce jar).
