Print Recipe

A delightful spread made with fresh fruits, sugar, and pectin, perfect for adding vibrant flavors to your breakfast or snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs fresh seasonal fruits (e.g., strawberries, peaches, blueberries)
  • 4 cups chopped fresh fruit
  • 1–2 cups sugar (or honey/maple syrup for a healthier alternative)
  • 1 packet of pectin
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Choose your fruit, wash, hull, and chop into small pieces.
  2. Measure the chopped fruit, sugar, and pectin.
  3. In a large pot, combine fruit and sugar. Cook over medium heat until the mixture starts to bubble, about 10 minutes.
  4. Stir in the pectin and bring to a rolling boil for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Perform a “gel test” to check for consistency.
  6. Pour the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace and seal them.
  7. Let the jars cool completely before storing in the refrigerator.

Notes

Ensure correct canning methods if storing for extended periods to prevent spoilage.
