What do you do when realisation hits that you have too many punnets of summer fruit? Make jam ;0) Speedy Summerberry Jam
750g mixed summer berries - my mixture included a punnet each of raspberries, strawberries and blueberries and 2 punnets of blackberries
100ml water
400g caster sugar - I used vanilla sugar
Wash and remove any stalks from the fruits. Place in a pan with water and bring to the boil. Leave to simmer for 10-15 mins, stirring frequently. Add the sugar, stir until it has dissolved and boil for a further 15-20 mins.
Transfer to sterilised, airtight jars to cool. Once cooled, cover and chill in the fridge where it will become more jam like. It will keep for up to 2 months.
Makes 750ml
I was a bit worried about this jam setting because it only has caster sugar in it instead of preserving sugar but its actually set really well. And the colour looks fantastic too, a rich shade of mulberry - the evidence is splattered all over my now ruined white tee shirt! That will teach me not to wear an apron.
