Use seasonal berries that already have natural sugar inside so they’re fresh, delicious yet healthy. Seasonal fruits jam I think everyone loves summer fruits. There’s a tradition in my family that in every summer we used to go to the local farmers market and pick up eachothers favourite berries. It’s always been fun to experiment with different flavours and sharing with my family and friends.    I always used to ask my mom why she made dozens of jars of jam for our friends. The answer is simple: we love to share things. And oh heavens, that legacy runs in me now.  Mixed Berry Jam How it works wonders Triple berries like strawberries, blueberries and blackberries, when combined – A Deadly combination. Traditionally, Jam making is amazing . Homemade jam = less sugar. My favourite part of making homemade jam is the ability to control the amount of sugar level. If you buy the jam from the store please read the nutrition level. There’s loads of sugar levels in there.  Also, I would like to add that, this won’t be set as store-bought jam. Because mine is pectin free.!! How to make homemade berry jam Get your jars ready. Before you start, sterilise your jars and put a plate in the freezer to chill. Gather your ingredients like berries, lemon juice and sugar into a pan. Turn on the flame and start stirring it with a wooden spoon. Let it hit until sugar is melted and fruits become softer. Let it boil for about 5 minutes. Cook uncovered and keep stirring. After about 15 minutes the jam will start to thicken. Now, place triple berry jam into the jars. Remove any air bubbles. Put your jars for 7-10 minutes in boiling water. How to check if the jam is done cooking. It’s a cool trick. Place a metal tray in the freezer before you start cooking your jam. Add a small amount of jam to the tray.  If the jam doesn’t run then you’re good to go. It is set!! If it’s too runny, cook for another 5 minutes and repeat the same process.
