First, you'll need to gather your ingredients.
-You'll need 2 cups of prepared mixed fruit (http://kitchenmason.com/mixed-fruit-jam-recipe/) – strawberries,
-raspberry,
-blueberries, etc.,
-1 cup of white sugar,
-2-3 tablespoons of lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of butter.
Now it's time to get started on the jam. Start by washing and crushing the mixed fruit. Put the crushed fruit into a large pot and heat it on low for 10 minutes. You can mash the fruit as it cooks to make it into a paste.
Once your mixture is heated, add in your sugar and stir it through. Allow the mixture to cook for an additional 15 minutes on medium heat while continually stirring it. Then add in the lemon juice and butter and continue stirring for another 5 minutes.
Now, grab a free canning jar and fill it with the jam mixture. Make sure you leave an inch of space at the top of the jar. Then, take a small saucer and set it in the microwave for one minute. Place the saucer on top of the jar lid to seal the jam tightly.
Once the jar is sealed, drop it into a pot of boiling water. Let the jam simmer in the water for 20 to 30 minutes. Then, take the jar out and let it cool for 10 minutes.
Lastly, it's time to take out your homemade jam! Take off the lid and pop the jam mixture onto a slice of bread for a tasty snack. Be sure to enjoy your homemade jam right away; it should last for a few weeks in the refrigerator!
The whole process of making Mixed Fruit Jam should take just over an hour! With such a short timeframe for an incredible outcome, you'll be sure to impress everyone and make mouths happy with this delicious spread.
