• Step 1

  Put two small plates in the freezer for testing purposes (you may not need the second plate). Place the berries and lemon juice in a large pan. Stir over low heat for 10 minutes, or until the berries are soft.

• Step 2

  Add the sugar and stir, without boiling, for 5 minutes, or until all the sugar has dissolved.

• Step 3

  Bring the mixture to a boil and boil for 20 minutes. Stir often and make sure the jam doesn’t stick or burn on the base of the pan. Remove any scum during cooking with a skimmer or slotted spoon. When the jam falls from a tilted wooden spoon in thick sheets without dripping, start testing for setting point.

• Step 4

  Remove from the heat, place a little jam on one of the cold plates, then place in the freezer for 30 seconds. When setting point is reached, a skin will form on the surface and the jam will wrinkle when pushed with your finger. Remove any scum.

• Step 5

  Spoon immediately into clean, warm jars and seal. Turn the jars upside down for 2 minutes, then invert and let cool. Label and date. Store in a cool, dark place for 6–12 months. Refrigerate after opening for up to 6 weeks.
