Steps:
- In a large pan, combine berries with sugar.
- Crush berries with a potato masher.
- Add lemon juice and lemon rind.
- Bring to a boil, skimming off any foam that forms.
- Cook at a full boil until jam thickens, approximately 30 minutes (jelling point is 221F).
- While the berries are cooking, sterilize your jars and heat the seals in a pan of hot water.
- Pour jam into hot jars; wipe rims, place seals and screw on bands fingertip-tight.
- Process in a boiling water bath for five minutes; remove to a protected countertop and let cool, undisturbed for 24 hours.
- If any of the lids have not sealed, either re-process or store in the refrigerator and use those jars first.

Steps:
- Stir together the sugar, pectin and salt in a small bowl until combined. Mash the berries in a separate large bowl with a fork or potato masher until evenly and finely crushed; stir in the lemon juice.
- Add the sugar mixture to the berry mixture and stir until well combined and the sugar has fully dissolved, about 2 minutes (this will also help the pectin bloom). Ladle into a glass mason jar or other freezer-safe container and set aside at room temperature for 30 minutes to set. Cover and store in the freezer for up to 1 year.

Steps:
- Combine fruit, sugar, and lemon juice in large bowl. Let stand at room temperature 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Put 2 saucers in freezer.
- In bottom of heavy large stockpot at least 3 inches deeper than height of jars, place metal rack or extra screw bands from canning jars to protect jars from direct heat. Fill pot with water, cover, and bring water to boil. Reduce heat to low. Wash jars, lids, and screw bands in hot soapy water; rinse well. Set screw bands on clean towel to dry. Place lids in small saucepan; cover with cold water and bring to simmer; turn off heat. Fill jars with very hot water.
- Transfer fruit mixture to large saucepan and bring to boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Mash to thick puree with potato masher. Reduce heat to medium and boil gently until mixture begins to thicken, stirring often, about 18 minutes.
- Remove saucepan from heat to test jam for gelling point. Drop 1 teaspoonful jam on chilled saucer and return to freezer 1 minute. Remove saucer and push edge of jam with fingertip. If jam has properly gelled, surface will gently wrinkle. If not, return saucepan to heat and cook jam a few minutes longer; repeat test.
- Drain hot water from jars and shake out excess water. Place jars on cutting board. Ladle hot jam into each jar, leaving 3/4-inch space at top. Slide flat plastic spatula between jam and jar to eliminate air bubbles. Clean rim of each jar with damp cloth. Using tongs, lift hot lids from saucepan, 1 at a time, shake dry, and place atop jars. Seal each with screw band, twisting to close but not too tightly. Return filled jars to pot of hot water.
- Add water to pot, if necessary, to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Cover pot and bring to boil; reduce heat and boil gently 10 minutes. Turn off heat. Wait 5 minutes; use tongs to remove jars without tilting. Place upright on towel; cool completely at room temperature. Jam will thicken as it cools.
- Check lids for seal by pressing each lightly. Lids of sealed jars will be concave and show no movement when pressed.

Steps:
- In a large saucepan, toss strawberries with sugar. Let sit, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved, 1 hour. Add lemon juice and bring to a boil.

EASIEST MIXED BERRY JAM
This recipe is adapted from one found in the Ball Blue Book. Every time I buy 12 oz. bags of frozen raspberries (to make jam), I see these 12 oz. bags of Whole Unsweetened Mixed Berries next to them (blackberries, strawberries, raspberries and blueberries). I always wondered what flavor it would have if made into a jam. Well, the mystery is over, and the jam is INCREDIBLE TASTING!

Steps:
- Chop the frozen fruit from each bag into pea-sized chunks (you can mash the thawed fruit with a potato masher if you prefer larger fruit chunks in your jam - I don't, I like jam that has a chunky texture, but spreads easily).
- In a large pot, combine fruit and sugar.
- Bring mixture quickly over high heat to the gelling point (it actually takes quite a while, in excess of ten minutes - and stir constantly, or fruit will stick to the bottom and burn).
- After fruit has reached the gelling point (thick enough to slide, as one 'flake', from a cold spoon), remove from heat.
- Ladle into sterilized jars, apply seals and rings, and process for 15 minutes, with whole jars submerged at least 1-2 inches under boiling water.
- That's it! Six bags, six cups. Chop, mix, boil to the gelling point, fill jars, process, DONE, all in less than an hour.
- NOTE: the Ball Blue Book calls for 9 cups of "berries" (i.e., blackberries, young berries, dew berries, etc.,) - six 12 oz. bags of mixed berries yields slightly less, but approximately that much.

MIXED BERRY WINTER JAM
This is a really good jam to make when you can't buy berries in season. I came up with this recipe when somebody (DH) left the door ajar on our upright freezer and the 2 kg bag of berries thawed out. I wasn't blessed with time so I made this simple mixed berry jam with a hint of lemon and tangerine. I'll be searching for recipes where I can include it as an ingredient. That is if my friends and family leave me any extra jars!

Steps:
- I used raspberries, blackberries, strawberries and blueberries.
- You can change the amount and type of berries you use as long as you keep the 1 to 1 ratio of fruit to sugar.
- Place thawed berries in the food processor. Using the stirring attachment instead of the blade, pulse to crush most of the fruit.
- Measure fruit and juice into an enamel or stainless steel pot and bring to a boil, stirring well. Add sugar and continue stirring to dissolve.
- Cook at a gentle boil. As mixture thickens you can crush the fruit if desired.
- Test for doneness by putting a bit on an icy cold saucer. Put the saucer back in the freezer for a minute. When you push at the side of the bit of jam and it wrinkles then it's ready.
- Remove from heat. Skim. Stir for a couple of minutes. Ladle into clean, hot, 1/2 pint jars. Leave 1/4 inch headroom Cap with canning lids and process in hjot water bath for 5 minutes boiling time.

Tips
- Choose the right berries: Use a variety of berries for a more flavorful jam. Look for berries that are ripe and fresh.
- Prepare the berries: Wash the berries thoroughly and remove any stems or leaves. If the berries are large, cut them into smaller pieces.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help to prevent the jam from burning.
- Cook the jam over medium heat: Stir the jam constantly to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Add pectin if necessary: Pectin is a natural thickener that will help to give the jam a more spreadable consistency. You can find pectin in the grocery store.
- Test the jam for doneness: The jam is done when it reaches a temperature of 220 degrees Fahrenheit (105 degrees Celsius). You can also test the jam by placing a small amount on a cold plate. If the jam wrinkles when you push your finger through it, it is done.
- Let the jam cool: Allow the jam to cool slightly before transferring it to jars.
- Seal the jars: Cover the jars with lids and seal them tightly.
- Store the jam: Store the jam in a cool, dark place. The jam will last for up to 1 year.
Conclusion
Making mixed berry jam is a great way to use up fresh berries and enjoy them all year long. With a little time and effort, you can make a delicious and healthy jam that your family and friends will love. Be sure to experiment with different berries and flavors to create your own unique jam recipes.
