Share & Save

Ingredients

Guideline: Any fruit at any amount. 

Basic sugar to fruit ratio:

  • ¼ cup (52g) - ⅔  cup (136g) granulated sugar per pound (450g) of fruit
  • ½  teaspoon (2ml) acid per pound of fruit (lemon, vinegar, other citrus juice)

Directions

  1. Peel fruit then cut into small pieces. Toss in sugar, leave for 1-2 hours or overnight in the fridge wrapped in plastic to macerate. Start at 52g sugar per pound of fruit. Add more after the macerating process if necessary.
  2. *Simmering time will vary based on the amount of fruit used. For 1 pound of fruit expect it to take around 15-20 minutes. Optional for raspberries: ½ cup (104g) sugar for every pound of fruit.
  3. Put macerated fruit in a pot, add 2 Tbsp of acid to activate pectin, the chemical that activates the thickening of fruit.
  4. Cool in a metal bowl and ice bath set up.
  5. OPTIONAL: Strain seedy berry jams through sieve or chinois if needed
  6. Store and use as needed.
