Total time: 40 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 8 slices sourdough bread; 3 tbs unsalted butter; 1 tsp olive oil (optional, for grill); 0.25 tsp coarse sea salt; 3 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen; e.g., strawberries, raspberries, blueberries); 3 tbs granulated sugar; 1 tbs fresh lemon juice; 2 tbs water; 1 tsp pectin (optional, for faster set); 0.75 cups Nutella or chocolate-hazelnut spread; 1 tbs heavy cream (to loosen, optional); 2 tbs toasted chopped hazelnuts; 1 tsp powdered sugar (optional); 4 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional)

Method

Housemade Jam (Mixed Berry)

1
Prepare berries
If using large berries (strawberries), hull and quarter them so they break down easily. Leave small berries whole.
2
Cook the fruit
Place the prepared berries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and water in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.
3
Simmer and reduce
Continue to simmer for 12–18 minutes, stirring occasionally and pressing fruit against the side of the pan with a wooden spoon to release juices. If using pectin, sprinkle it in at the start of the simmer and stir well.
4
Check set
To test for set, drop a small spoonful on a chilled plate; after a minute it should wrinkle when pushed. If it's still loose, simmer another 3–5 minutes. Remove from heat when desired thickness is reached.
5
Cool
Let the jam cool to room temperature in the pan, then transfer to a clean jar. Jam will continue to thicken as it cools. Makes roughly 1 cup.

Nutella Spread

6
Spoon Nutella into a small bowl. If Nutella is very thick or firm, microwave in 10-second intervals, stirring between each, until spreadable (about 10–20 seconds) or stir in 1 tablespoon heavy cream to loosen the texture for easier spreading. Keep warm or at room temperature.
