About

You can experiment with the ratio of berries in this recipe and, if you like, substitute 2 cups (½ lb/250 g) hulled and halved strawberries for 2 cups (½ lb/250 g) of the raspberries. The blackberries and blueberries give the jam lots of body as well as an intense berry flavor.

Ingredients

4 cups (1 lb/500 g) raspberries
4 c

Method

Have ready hot, sterilized jars and their lids.

In a large nonreactive saucepan, gently toss together the berries, sugar, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce the heat to medium, and cook, uncovered, stirring frequently, until the jam has thickened, about 15 minutes. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
