I love Jam, never attempted to make my own as yet, Wonder what a mix of berries would taste like.

You'll have to try it. You'll be glad you did. Start small, use the fruit that is ripening too fast and make a small batch.

I might give it a go, we do go through a lot as we all love it

Mixed Berries
I would Say Taste Like A Punch
But More Berry, Hard For Me To Explain
You Can Do Just All Strawberries, Or Blueberries
I Love Raspberries Myself
This Is One Of The Easiest Recipes
Because You Are Free Of The Canning Phase

I love raspberry to but my favourite fruit is blueberry, What is the canning phase?

10 minutes
Put Jars in Boiling Water For Ten Minutes =Long Term Storage
Make Sure Jars Have New Canning Lids
That's My Recommendation
You Want To Make Sure The Lid Seals
So That is Where The Boil Process Comes in
The Rim May Need To Be Tightened After
Removing From Boiling Water
The Berries Are Already Cooked From the Boiling Water Mixture
For Tomatoes, Green beans And Other it is Longer
For The Jello Recipe
Check Out Jello.com
My Mom would Put Melted Paraffin
Wax on Top Of The Fruit Mixture
I Believe It Is From Jello

Ok thank you. I think I prefer the first one that seems like a lot of work

Nice organic jam like this is also a great addition to plain yogurt. Instead of pectin you can use fruits or berries that are high in pectin like Gooseberries or apples.

I See
This Recipe Is Like Old
My Mom Used Strawberry Jello For GooseBerries
LOL
It Tasted Like A Tart Strawberry

I may try this!

It's Oh So Easy

The most fun to be had is taking kids and dogs walking in the countryside looking for the wild berries to make the jam!

Nice post! <3
