Ingredients
Method
1.Preheat oven to moderate, 180°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper. Spread sugar over tray. Bake for 4-5 minutes until heated through.
2.Combine berries in a heavy- based saucepan. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 4-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fruit softens.
3.Add warm sugar, stirring to dissolve. Mix in lemon juice. Increase heat to medium and bring to a rolling boil. Cook for 30-35 minutes, until jam reaches setting point. Pour into warm, sterilised jars and seal.
Use slightly under ripe fruit as it contains higher levels of pectin – this provides better results for setting. If your fruit is overripe. you may need to add extra dried pectin, such as jamsetta. Sterilise jars in boiling water for 10 minutes. Handling with tongs, place upside down on a baking tray. Heat in a moderate oven, 180°C, for 5 minutes. until dry. Keep warm until ready to fill with jam.
