Serves: 12 oz
Ingredients
  • 4 cups fresh or frozen berries (I used a mix of raspberries, blackberries & blueberries)
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon rose water
Method
  1. Sterilize jar and lid by boiling them for five minutes. Turn off heat and allow jar and lid to sit in hot water until needed.
  2. In a heavy bottom saucepan on medium heat, stir together sugar, berries, lemon juice and lemon zest. As the mixture softens, mash the berries. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  3. Once the jam has reached 220°F (using a candy or instant read thermometer), turn the heat down to low and allow jam to thicken.
  4. When jam has reached desired consistency, turn off heat and skim any foam with a clean spoon. Cool until warm and mix in rose water.
  5. Pour jam into sterilized jar, leaving a quarter inch of space. Wipe the rims of the jar lids with a clean kitchen or paper towel and seal.
  6. In the pot where you sterilized the jar and lid, reheat the water until boiling. Add the jar of jam and allow jar to sit in water for ten minutes. Using a jar lifter or head safe tongs, remove the jar to a cooling rack.
  7. Once room temperature, store them in the refrigerator.
