Mixed Berry Winter Jam

Ingredients

• 6 cups unsweetened thawed, frozen mixed berries
• 6 cups sugar
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons tangerine juice

Directions

1. 1

   I used raspberries, blackberries, strawberries and blueberries.

2. 2

   You can change the amount and type of berries you use as long as you keep the 1 to 1 ratio of fruit to sugar.

3. 3

   Place thawed berries in the food processor. Using the stirring attachment instead of the blade, pulse to crush most of the fruit.

4. 4

   Measure fruit and juice into an enamel or stainless steel pot and bring to a boil, stirring well. Add sugar and continue stirring to dissolve.

5. 5

   Cook at a gentle boil. As mixture thickens you can crush the fruit if desired.

6. 6

   Test for doneness by putting a bit on an icy cold saucer. Put the saucer back in the freezer for a minute. When you push at the side of the bit of jam and it wrinkles then it's ready.

7. 7

   Remove from heat. Skim. Stir for a couple of minutes. Ladle into clean, hot, 1/2 pint jars. Leave 1/4 inch headroom Cap with canning lids and process in hjot water bath for 5 minutes boiling time.
