Method

Jam Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fruits

    Wash the strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries thoroughly. Remove any stems and leaves, and chop larger fruits into smaller pieces.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large pot, combine the prepared fruits, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir well to combine.

  3. 3

    Cook the Mixture

    Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently. Allow it to boil for about 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Pectin

    After boiling, add the pectin to the fruit mixture, stirring constantly. Continue to boil for another 1-2 minutes until the mixture thickens.

  5. 5

    Jar the Jam

    Carefully pour the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace. Seal the jars with lids.

    Cool and Store

    Let the jars cool to room temperature before storing them in the refrigerator or pantry.

    Measure out 500 ml of grape juice and pour it into a large pot.

  2. 8

    Combine Ingredients

    Add sugar and lemon juice to the pot with grape juice. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.

    Bring to a Boil

    Heat the mixture over medium-high heat and bring it to a rolling boil.
