Summer Berry and Vanilla Jam

• 800 g (1 lb 12 oz) mixed fresh summer berries (use frozen if fresh berries are not available)

Wash and sterilise your jars according to the instructions on page 128. They will need to be hot when you fill them.

Place a small saucer or two in the freezer to chill, to use for testing the jam is set.

Put the mixed berries, vanilla and sugar into a non-stick pan and mix together. Set aside for 20 minutes until the sugar has almost dissolved and the fruit has softened.
