Comment préparer Berry Preserves
- Gently combine 4 cups of raspberries (or your preferred berry mix) and 3 cups of granulated sugar in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan.
- Let the mixture stand for 10-15 minutes, allowing the berries to release their juices.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- If using, stir in 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and cook rapidly, stirring frequently, until the preserves reach the gelling point (a spoonful dropped onto a cold plate should wrinkle slightly when pushed with your finger).
- Continue to stir frequently during the thickening process to prevent sticking and burning.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Skim off any foam that has formed on the surface using a slotted spoon.
- Carefully ladle the hot preserves into sterilized half-pint jars, leaving ¼ inch of headspace at the top of each jar.
- Adjust the two-piece lids and rings securely.
- Process the jars in a boiling water bath canner for 15 minutes to ensure safe sealing.
- Remove the jars from the canner and let them cool completely. You should hear a satisfying ‘pop’ sound as the jars seal.
