A staple in our house is Jam! When the girls started eating it all the time we switched from the high fructose corn syrup loaded jelly to the Smuckers Reduced Sugar Spread.. I looked at the label and realize there is still 5 grams of sugar per Tablespoon! Yikes! So my search was on to find a good homemade jam! After trying a couple I have found an amazing recipe!
5 cups berries (I used Organic Mixed Berries)
1 Package "No Sugar Needed" Fruit Pectin (Sure-Jell 1.75 ounces)
3/4 cup water
Place frozen berries into a pot and simmer until they start to break down and defrost. Pour the berries into a blender and pulse until you get your desired consistency. Return the berries to the pot and add the water and pectin. Bring mixture to a boil. Boil for one minute stirring constantly. Skim the foam off the top. Pour into prepared jars. Let cool before adding lids. This jam can be left in refrigerator for about a month or frozen until ready to use.
