✨Strawberry and Blueberry Homemade Jam
The best jam I've made! Simple ingredients easy steps!
3 cups fresh strawberries
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest , finely grated
Pinch sea salt
Wash berries very well, remove stems from strawberries and add strawberries first into saucepan
Add sugar, lemon juice, zest amd salt mix until it's coating strawberries. With a fork or masher gently press on strawberries to break them up and release juices. I don't do it to much I like to see pieces in my jam. Let it sit 5 min.
Now turn on heat to medium and bring to a rolling boil , stirring frequently
After 2-3 min add in blueberries and stir. Reduce heat to medium-low and let cook 25-30 min add, frequently stirring
The mixture will foam and gradually reduce becoming thicker and glossy
Don't overcook as it will thicken as it cooks. To test it place a spoon in jam and if it falls off to easily it needs a bit more it should stick to spoon and fall off the spoon slower
Turn off heat, remove from heat and wait about 1-2 min before filling your clean and washed jam jars with lids.
Once jars are filled, seal tightly and place upside down on counter till completely cooled.
Refrigerate lasts a month
Freezer 3-6 months (store in plastic container once fully cooled and remove when ready to use)
If you want to seal it , place the jars in a bath water boil 10-15 min then place upside and store. Jars will be air sealed tightly and lids should not click when you press on them. I prefer in fridge to guarantee freshness and longevity!
