This is a great way to use up left over berries or fruit from the summer. Keep a little bit of summer time in a jar for those ridiculously cold and snowy days! Jams without pectin take a bit longer to thicken up but the amount of sugar is greatly reduced. Ingredients:
4 1/2 cups mixed berries, roughly chopped |
1/2 granny smith apple, minced, skin on |
1 cup honey |
1 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
3 tablespoons lemon juice |
Directions:
1. Place the mixed berries and minced apple into a bowl; mash with a potatop masher. The apple will help to thicken the mixture without the use of pectin.
2. Place berry mixture into a heavy pot on medium high heat and stir.
3. Add honey, sugar, and cinnamon to the berry mixture; stir frequently.
4. Cook on medium high heat for approximately 45 minutes until desired consistency is reached (although cooking times may vary).
5. Towards the end of the cooking time, stir in the lemon juice.
6. Add the jam to your sterilized jam jars and enjoy!
