The combination of tart and sweet fruit (some of which are pectin-rich, such as red currants) results in a naturally set jam.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (500 mL) raspberries
- 2 cups (500 mL) stemmed red currants
- 2 cups (500 mL) sliced hulled strawberries
- 2 cups (500 mL) pitted sour cherries
- 4 cups (1 L) granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp (25 ml) lemon juice
Preparation
In large Dutch oven and using potato masher, crush, 1 layer at a time, raspberries, currants, strawberries and cherries.
Add sugar and lemon juice; bring to boil, stirring to blend and dissolve sugar. Boil hard, stirring constantly, until setting point is reached, about 12 minutes.
Remove from heat. Let cool for 5 minutes, stirring to distribute fruit and skimming off any foam.
Pour into five 1-cup (250 mL) hot canning jars, leaving 1/4-inch (5 mm) headspace. If necessary, wipe rims. Cover with prepared lids; screw on bands fingertip tight. Boil in boiling water canner for 10 minutes.
