Notes
Use as a base for other jams: This recipe is a great base for your fruit of choice. Simply adjust your sweetener and lemon juice amounts to taste to account for variations in sweetness and acidity.
Food processor: A food processor may also be used to pulse the berries taking care not to over mix.
Storage: Jam will keep well in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to a week or frozen for up to 6 months.
