Savor the delicious combination of sweet and tangy homemade mixed berry jam. This jam works well as a topping for sweets or as a spread for toast or muffins.

Ingredients: 4 cups mixed berries strawberries, blueberries, raspberries. 2 cups granulated sugar. 1 lemon, juiced.

Instructions: Wash and prepare the mixed berries by removing any stems or hulls. In a large saucepan, combine the mixed berries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves. Once the sugar has dissolved, increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil. Stir frequently to prevent sticking or burning. Reduce the heat to a simmer and continue cooking for about 20-25 minutes, or until the jam thickens and reaches the desired consistency. You can test the consistency by placing a small amount of jam on a cold plate and checking if it sets. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the jam cool for a few minutes. Pour the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving a little space at the top to allow for expansion during cooling. Seal the jars tightly with lids and let them cool to room temperature. Once the jars are cool, store them in the refrigerator. The jam will continue to thicken as it cools.
