Simple jam recipe

Prep: 20 minutes
Total: 45 minutes

Ingredients:

  • Fruit of choice
  • About ¾ cup sugar per pound fruit
  • Fresh lemon juice
  • Coarse salt
  • Seasonings to taste

Directions:

Stir together fruit, sugar, and pinch of salt in a large pot. Bring to a low boil over medium heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved and mashing the fruit. Add lemon juice; continue to boil, stirring frequently, until bubbles slow, chunks of fruit show at top, and mixture clings to a spoon but falls off in clumps. Once jam reaches desired texture, and continues to simmer, skim the foam from the top.

Ladle jam into clean containers, leaving ¾ inch of headroom. Let cool completely. Cover, label, and refrigerate up to 1 month, or freeze up to 1 year.
